5/30: One-sixth of the way there.

Okay, I didn't leave myself very much time to blog, but I feel okay about that. I'm here in Dunkin Donuts, following the schedule. I feel okay about what I was doing instead of blogging. And I'm going to write something... that's what's important. This is all about consistency, and I'm 5 days in a row. 

Today was a little better than yesterday. I'm clawing my way out of the funk with nothing but the strength of my resolve. My 2nd grade class, which is usually my worst, surprised me by being relatively pleasant today, and 1st grade was as cool as always. We did the "If I Were a Rich Man" lesson today, and it was fine. They don't love the song as much as I do, but then again, that might be impossible. I was a lot more productive today than I imagined I could be, until I cut out 7th period, but I'm not too worried about it. I have a really strong conception of what I'm going to do for the lesson on Monday, so I'll finish it up tomorrow. Planning on my laptop is, surprisingly, a lot less efficient than planning at school, though. Despite the school computer's Microsoft Office being entirely in Korean, I'm still better at navigating that one than this Office for Mac. Not that Office for Mac is bad... it's just that I don't have the patience to learn it properly, I think, so things don't go as smoothly as they do at school. But still... I've got time this weekend, so finishing up the two lessons I didn't quite get to shouldn't be much of a problem. 

I'm as prepared as I can possibly be to teach at Beauty High School tomorrow, so I'm hoping it goes really smoothly. I went ahead and created my curriculum (at least my lesson titles) for the next 8 (or 7) classes, which they wanted tomorrow, so I feel better prepared now that I have an idea of what I'll do in the future. 

I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to get up early to hit the gym in the morning. I think it might be good to save it for later in the day, to fill in some of those idle hours, but there's always the danger that I won't go at all when I do that. But I think I will wait. I'd rather be well rested and ready for tomorrow than rushing in the morning to get ready and get to school on time. That way I can do some strength stuff and then a quick jaunt on the treadmill all at once. Kill two birds with one stone. 

Speaking of which, I finished another book (Chuck Palahniuk's Snuff), and with a relatively un-busy weekend in front of me, I might just finish up the two I borrowed from Tim in the next two days. (I'm already halfway through one of them.) I sure don't screw around when presented with the opportunity to lay in bed and read. And now that I'm not combining that with eating mindlessly, I don't even really have to feel bad about it! Wonderful. 

Okay, I should go home, as it's almost ten o'clock. Have an excellent weekend. :)
