I've realized that my hearing makes me absolutely exhausted. The past weekend, my cousin was here. It was nice to see him. After four straight days of talking and listening and trying to listen, my brain totally shut off. By the last day, hearing and comprehending was so difficult. Maybe it was part the last few weeks at school as well and constantly on the go all weekend, but all I did yesterday was sleep. I tried really hard to get something done, but I could not motivate myself. I tried watching a movie (Mystic River) but between the sound levels constantly changing and the accents different from what I normally hear, I gave up and took a nap.
Whine whine whine. I have a lot of students in my class. I've been told I'm getting more help but it hasn't happened yet. Honestly, I don't actually expect it to happen, so I guess I'll just live on survival mode for the rest of this year. Other than having my cousin here and watching the LA marathon on Sunday, I haven't really done anything lately. Triennials, IEPs, and progress reports have taken up most of my time as well as trying to keep up with the 12 students. I realize that does not sound like a lot, but unless you've actually been in my classroom, shut up. Yesterday I slept. Today I went to the gym at 5:30 (!!!!) and went to Riptide and then Spin. It's 10 and I'm still hungry. I don't really want to do school work but I told myself I have to get it done today so I can not do it for the rest of the week. I'm still debating on going to spin tonight.
I went to an Indo-Row class a few Saturdays ago and loved it. I started ordering pre-made meals delivered to my house because I hate cooking. That's going ok so far. Um....my couch is really comfortable right now and cleaning and laundry is never ending. That's about it in the life of Kir.
