Long Week

Last week seriously was one of the longest weeks ever. It seemed that it would never reach Friday. And once it did reach Friday, Friday never seemed to end. Now it is before 8 am on Sunday morning, and I am bright eyed and bushy tailed and annoyed. I paid one of my credit card bills on Friday with the hope that it would clear before today so I could go grocery shopping. Sadly, it did not clear yet so it looks like I'm going to have to go grocery shopping sometime during the week. If you have caught on to anything from reading this blog, you know that during the week I am usually too tired to do just about anything. But seeing as I have very little food in my refrigerator (but I have plenty of Lean Cuisines so I may be ok for lunch for a couple of days) this was not what I wanted to wake up to on Sunday morning.

One of my teacher friends and I teach the same prep. We got together a couple of weeks ago and planned out what we were going to do each day through the first week in March. It has been great having a general idea of what I am doing everyday. And I thoroughly appreciate it now, seeing as I don't have to scurry around trying to decide what I am going to do each day during my first two blocks. The one thing that I wish we had done was go through and make our PowerPoints and what not. While copying and pasting is not such a huge deal, it would be nice to have all of that done as well.

Another of my teacher friends went shopping yesterday and had on the CUTEST outfit when we went to dinner last night. She went to my home base, NY & Company, and got a lot of cute stuff. She said that most of their spring line is out right now. I will be making my way to the mall at some point today. Especially since I cannot go grocery shopping like I had anticipated.

Last week I had the pleasure of talking to my cooperating teacher, whom I miss dearly. She really did become one of my closest friends. We are very much alike, but very different, so we work together as friends very well. I miss her and all my students from last year so so SO much. Apparently, she has not been as lucky this year with having as good of an experience as she had last year. I mean, I was her first student teacher and, let's be honest, I did set the bar pretty high. :)

I feel like everything over the past week has really just annoyed me. I don't know if it's because I'm really tired or that I have no money or that I am just becoming more easily annoyed. But I mean EVERYTHING was annoying me: people, things, places, my car, my apartment, everything. It's been very strange. I may take this week to just refresh and rejuvenate and lay low. I don't have any money to go do anything until I get paid again in the middle of the month, so the next two weeks will be very nice to just sort of relax and get back to normal. The new semester has sort of taken me by surprise.

On another note, Happy Birthday to my parents!!! Mom's b-day was Thursday and Dad's is tomorrow. Hope the days are wonderful!! Miss and love!
