This weekend I have a three-day weekend. Is there no better feeling than knowing you have an extra day in your weekend? I think not. (ok, well, maybe a few things). I have Friday off this week and am looking forward to being away from school for an extra day. I may have plans on Saturday, if we can ever decide on something, but other than that, my weekend should be fairly relaxing, besides the cleaning I plan on doing tomorrow. And do you know what the best part about this three-day weekend is? Knowing that the following weekend is a four-day weekend. I love November so much. Why can’t every weekend be a three-day weekend?
This is going to be a really long day, I can tell. It’s not because I have a lot of students, because I only have four. It’s because I’m tired, which I wasn’t until I got into the classroom. Why am I tired? Well, I got my usual amount of sleep last night and had my Monster this morning, so I think the reason must be because it’s hot in my classroom. Like really hot. The AC isn’t coming on for some reason. Many may think I don’t need it because the temperature is only supposed to be 75 today, but I do need it because I have no windows in this classroom and can’t open the door because this is ISS. So it’s hot and stuffy in here with no air coming through at all. I can feel myself get more tired as the day goes on and I’m burning up. I picked the wrong day to wear a tie I think.
In other news, I had a great weekend. I didn’t do anything at all really. Didn’t go anywhere or do anything exciting. I did, however, get to talk to an old friend I don’t get to talk to often. We spent hours catching up. That was a great surprise. Anyway, that’s it for updates.
Edit: Since the post my ac kicked on and the day flew by. I only have about 1 hour left of students.
This past Saturday I went to Homecoming at my old high school, Fort Zumwalt South. It was a great game. The Bulldogs have a great team this year and have improved their record to 6-0. They played Frances Howell Central and beat them 34-0. The only downside to the game is we had to sit in the hot afternoon sun to watch it. No, I’m not being a baby. You think Homecoming and you think cool weather right? Well, not this Homecoming. It was 91 degrees out and the sun was beating down on us the entire time. I came home with a sunburn. Who would think you would need to wear sunscreen in St. Louis in October and that it would be 91 degrees? Crazy weather.
While browsing a blog last night I happened to notice that I was not listed in the author’s blogroll anymore. It’s a weird feeling (for me anyway) to notice that you are deemed no longer worthy of the precious link space on a website. Thinking about it, I believe I know why I was removed. I think I was removed because this person and I disagreed on a third party issue. That makes it even more curious that a disagreement like that would cause my site to be removed. I respect this author a lot and never thought they would remove someone because of their opinions on a subject (if that’s what they indeed did). Of course, I could just be imagining things. It could be that they just don’t like what I write about anymore. I don’t know.
Having a bad day. Very bad. Oh, by the way September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. The FSM will be pleased.
