This is today and that’s what you have. Focus on what you have and forget everything else.

I always see on peoples’ 101 things to do in 1001 day lists or bucket lists to write in a blog/diary for x amount of days consecutively. I know at one point, it was on my list of things to do for 30 days. I attempted previously in Ecstasy’s blog-a-thon back in September and failed due computer screen dying (it simply broke in the middle typing an entry!). So when the second blog-a-thon came about, I figured it was a great time to try again. I’ve been doing well I have to say 15 days into this (I hope I don’t jinx myself!). However, it’s definitely hard when trying to write for 30 days consecutively to have something to write about. Some days it’s simply easier to do a meme (especially if you’re like me and love them!), other days events conspire to make for a good entry. Then there are days like today, where it’s a struggle simply to think of something to write about because it has been the most uneventful day ever.

Well it could have been more exciting, had I chose to drive to the Ottobar in Baltimore to meet up with Charlie. However, I had no desire to drive to Baltimore. What? The drive there wouldn’t have bothered me as much as driving back late at night…though at least I know with advanced warning, I could just crash at Charlie’s if I do choose to drive to Baltimore to hang out rather than driving back to Silver Spring late at night (I hate night driving with a passion!).

I did sing along with 2 of my students to Hey, Soul Sister as we drove to McDonald’s (Kathy and I drove the kids to the park and then she treated them to the $1 meal!) and they think my car is awesome (and thus I am by association). I also helped clean out the classroom so Irene and I can redo it on Friday.

I could have gone to the gym and made my day more exciting; rather I chose to go downstairs to the gym. However, it seems that now that it’s warmer out, the residents of this building are working out more. I’m proud of myself though as this is the first time I’ve knocked my mile under 15 minutes! Granted it was at 14:58 but still!

I bought a bathing suit online tonight. I’m quite excited about that! I never buy clothes online but this was adorable and people tell me there’s nothing wrong with buying online – so I’m attempting this! It’s a black one piece halter top with a gold and white stripe on the bottom. There’s a British store that specializes in bras and swimwear for the big boobied gals like me so I took a chance and ordered since it was a good deal (it comes out to about $62 US dollars – £40 something). I just hope it fits because otherwise I predict it being a bitch to figure how to send back to the UK.

Next goal: find a cute bikini/tankini so I can retire the black fish one I have.

I also need to figure why my foot is killing me. For the past two days, I’ve been limping because it hurts to put pressure on my right foot but I have no idea what I did to fuck my foot up. Sigh.

Tomorrow’s the last day of school until July 1st! Yay two week vacation!

Calling whine one one!

I’m exhausted. I worked all day and then hung out with Jake (i.e. babysat) until about 9…seriously going to be so glad for break next week!

I’m not sure how much of a coherent entry I can make because all I can think about is crawling into bed but I had some random thoughts that I kept making mental notes to myself to save to expand on in an entry but I figure I might as well just make an entry of my thoughts today…

-I don’t understand sometimes how my students cannot add basic numbers when they are given a) a number line b) a calculator c) an addition chart and d) they have 10 fingers! Seriously it amazes me that 5+2 can go over their head but ask them anything about anything else not related to school (i.e. Rey Mysterio, dogs, Naruto, Spawn, girls, Las Vegas, Washington Redskins, celebrities, how to run your life, etc) and they could tell you from A-Z.
-Do students really not realize how obvious they are when they’re faking illness to get out of work?
-Rey Mysterio fails at life. Your signature move should also not be named after the San Diego area code.
-I’m not very sympathetic to tantrums. I’ve also no sympathy for teachers who cater to tantrums and then wonder why their student repeats their behavior. Well duh you gave into them and let them escape doing their work!
-I’m apparently a horrible person according to my students because I make them do work! Oh Em Gee. Call the cops. Better yet, call a whambulance because otherwise I don’t want to hear it!
-Six Flags on Thursday should be interesting as I have 3 students in my group that I’m in charge of and they’re quite awesome … I just hope it’s going to be a good day!
-Either way it doesn’t matter because I’m not working with Jake on Thursday night and Friday is a half day with potential happy hour at night with people from work!
-Just because I’ve only been working for a month does not mean I cannot be excited for a 2 week vacation! I’m damn well going to be excited and I’m going to enjoy the 2 weeks of being a bum!
-Starbucks guy should not be offended at what I say to him! He told me he wanted to help me pick out food and tell me about each item and I responded, do you not think I can read? How was I supposed to know he wanted to tell me about his taste palette? Furthermore, do you think I really want to hear about your taste palette? No it was not a low blow, you just annoyed me! You also annoyed me by not finding me a wrap so therefore you fail.
-Best news in the mail today! I got my contract in the mail for the fall for the synagogue and after 2 years of working there, I got a raise! It’s about time! And apparently I’m working both sessions so I cannot complain!
-I do not appreciate being felt up by an 11 year old or being asked if I’m pregnant! But it’s hysterical because he doesn’t realize how obvious he’s being when he tries to cop a feel so it’s hard to keep a straight face in reprimanding! Am I a horrible person?
-In listening to Eyal Golan’s song, Jungle…I can’t help but wonder if he really thinks Africa is one huge jungle?
-I wonder why at any Jewish wedding I’ve been to (with the exception of Lelia’s), I always hear the song Balbelli Oto (Confuse Him) by Kobi Peretz. While I adore the song, I wonder why a song called Confuse Him being played at a wedding? Should all confusion be done with?
-Glee=<3. Enough said.

Odd thing I realized today thanks to Dana and I’m quite amused to know this…my birthday is September 2nd. This year it is:

9/02/10.

It took me a second and if it’s taking you a second, it’s 90210 – like the tv show (which I used to love as a kid!). Knowing this makes me smile because my birthdate is awesome as it was and this just made it 9232958958x cooler.

Dear Michael Leighton

I was a bit doubtful that you would start in goal tomorrow but I’m glad that Laviolette chose you to start in goal. I just hope you and the rest of the Flyers can pull this off tomorrow and force a game seven! I will be rooting for you! Please please please don’t fail.

Love,

Me

And with that, g’night!
