This week so far
Dec. 14th, 2005 10:30 pmI should have been in bed a half an hour ago. I blame the chocolate-covered espresso beans!
I couldn't remember what I have been doing this week, so I decided to document. On Monday I ran the clock at a basketball game. (For the record, I HATE basketball. I am just doing it for the money and to see some of my students play.) I had a lot of down time to sit and THINK. Very dangerous, I know. I thought and thought about the feasibility of my trip to the Galápagos this summer. I decided I could not afford it and I would feel more secure if I waited another year. This made me feel sad, but relieved.
Tuesday, I talked to coworkers, the French teacher and another Spanish teacher. They both think I should take the trip anyway. I have the rest of my life to be poor, eh? I can afford to go, but it will wipe me out. Maybe I will get a tax refund...
I worked out at the gym and lifted weights. I enjoyed that. Then I went Xmas shopping. We drew "Secret Santas" at work and I enjoy shopping for and sneaking little treats for someone I work with but hardly know.
Wednesday I went to aikido and asked a senior instructor all kinds of questions about the fundamentals of some of the techniques we do. I learned a lot. I was thrown around quite a bit, but the soreness feels good (At least it does tonight, we'll see about tomorrow.) I am at a point in my training where I have to determine for myself what I need to be working on. I can't be spoon-fed by others all the time.
That is my week so far. In between these activities I taught school (reviewing for Finals next week). In my spare time I read about Katharine Hepburn and watched the L Word. (I think Season 2, Episode 9 is one of my favorites)
