tpr
i was supposed to teach my first class in cinci today, however, there is like two inches of snow that fell in like five hours, and it was starting to ice as well. so we rescheduled it.
i obviously am going to teach, i committed to two courses, but, i am starting to wonder if this is going to be my last time teaching...i dont know...it just feels like something i dont want to do / deal with any more. but i think that i would still like to be a trainer--we will have to see about that.
i have mixed feelings about this batch, they seem to believe that they are entitled to whatever. they showed up ten or fifteen minutes late from being somewhere a five minute walk away to get food. they showed up with the other teacher, i dont understand why they were that late (they said "the roads were bad") and i would have hoped that another teacher would have tried to ensure that the students got back in time, out of courtesy. but i dont know, it may be that he did...that is just my stance based on knowing what i know....

troubles with motivation to study.
troubles with motivation to study.
at night i have been readying harry potter--in the 9 or 10 days i have been able to get through the 1st 3 books (really, it was 2 days for the 1st, 2 days for the 2nd, then almost a week for the third)
there is something in the third book where dumbledore says to harry:
you think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? you think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of greatest trouble?
and then it goes on some.
i guess that i am always surprised how raw i still am about my grandpa. it has been almost a year...

no, i am NOT slacking...i dont know why you would think that
this christmas break was shitty.
after 3pm on friday 12-19 i was free.
i started feeling icky the following tuesday.
threw up 8 times at normandy church on wednesday.
left christmas early to sleep and be miserable thursday.
then several days of bed / coughing / reading / sleeping.
my mom couldnt take it so the following monday we saw wendy--cough syrup with codeine.
slept through new years eve on wednesday--with 11 other people at my apartment...when i had been looking forward to it for over a month.
finally started feeling better on friday 1-2, havent used the cough syrup since that night
classes started today.
sorry if im grumpy, it was a shitty break.
(silver lining = grade in brain in behavior)
