Sunday July 7th
Today was pretty much a wasted day. I slept in, which was fantastic. But in terms of accomplishing anything... well it didnt happen. I spent all day in front of my computer. Not even doing anything important on my computer. Just browsing reddit, reading the news (especially about the plane crash- since I love all things aviation).
Nobody wanted to do anything. It was a rainy day and nobody (including myself) really wanted to get out of our apartments.
At night I did want to see a movie. Not just any movie. Jurassic Park in IMAX 3D. I went with Eva. I love that movie. Seeing it on the big screen was amazing. The 3D actually worked too. Some movies it is too much, but with JP it enhanced it just enough without making it too cheesy.
I got home near midnight. Went to be and got ready for school.
Monday July 8th
Monday. It was not as crazy as some... but the day flew by quickly. I think I had a pretty good energy level most of the day. No real drama in any of my classes. I like it. Nobody cried, nor did I see anyone close to crying either! All of the classes when well.
With my 1st graders... I was going to have some extra time, so I was going to take them to the seminar room to watch something, but it was being used. I checked the library, but as soon as I stepped out the kids got loud so I came back. I started them reading... went to the library again, and came back and I caught some people talking. I told them we would not be able to go today because of that.
When I came back, Lucy was upset. Normally she has life. She kept her head down. I called her out to the hall to find out what was up. Ostensibly Billy called her ugly. I definitely can see that happening. I will talk to him tomorrow. But I just talked to her for a minute in the hall reassuring her that she was not ugly. I had her repeat "I am not ugly" and "I am pretty" and told her not to worry about what Billy or anyone else says. I just said a lot of the kids in our class like to get reactions. And the end I took her hand and made the little peace sign that Koreans do when people are taking pictures of them. I put it to her face and said "I'm a pretty princess" which embarrassed her buy made her smile. When she got back in class she was a lot more lively and happy. I figured instead of pulling Billy out immediately, it would just add to his need to get a reaction.
taking care of Lucy and making her happy I felt was more important than scolding Billy either in the class or outside. I can't just throw fuel on the fire. Billy can be really sweet and nice... unless he wants attention.
Came home and was gonna go with Rob to the hardware store- he was gonna get drain cleaner and I was just gonna see what they had... he said his drain was not working. Well before he left school, I told him how to dissemble it and clean it. Well, he let me know that he did not need to go to the hardware store anymore cause he cleaned his drain. I took a little nap. I then watched "The Giant Mechanical Man" on Netflix... I really liked it. Some of the themes in it really struck some cord with me.
For the last few days I have been in a Ramen mood. Yes Ramen noodles. Everyone eats them all the time here. I always associated it with poor college student. But nope. You see businessmen in suits slurping instant noodles just like children. Its cheap, and there are so many flavors of it. I know it is not the healthiest stuff. Buy it is sooooooo delicious. I know I did not like it as a kid. But this is better than the little square packages and cup-o-noodles. Besides being good, it is relatively filling.
Welp, thats all I have for now...
