Happy Day! Rainy days are complicated for me...I hate driving in the rain (you Georgia drivers know what happens out here when it rains, its like ARMAGEDDON!) and I hate being out and about when its raining...but I get the most done on rainy days. I don't know, I guess my mind stops racing long enough to focus on tasks as they present themselves, rather than working on several things at the same time. I'm not saying I look forward to rainy days, but they don't dampen my spirits too much.
It rained yesterday...and I got tons done. I spent most of last night listening to Jodeci (yo, iLove Jodeci!), working on lesson plans and reading articles about becoming a good ESL teacher. Now my mind is in a constant whir with new ideas and questions.
I asked Genae to come by so I could use her computer (in my Balrahj voice) because I feel lost without my laptop. It really is true, you never know what you've got 'til its gone. Fail. I mean guys, I can't charge or sync my iPod, I can't get on that internet from home, I feel like I'm back in the early 90's for pete's sake! (who's pete? And where does that expression come from?) http://wiki.name.com/en/Name_idioms
Suneye has helped me tremendously and I have recently enlisted Genae's help as well...she's like my own personal cheat sheet. Its perfect. And so in all this preparation (lesson plans and swags) , I have inadvertently been helping Genae with her lesson plans and last night she said to me, "...so tell me, teacher, how would you do...." And oddly enough, I had an answer. A pretty decent one. And she is actually going to amend one of my lessons and use them for her music class. The other day we planned a blues lesson for the babies...that was fun too. As long as Genae will let me, I'll keep sticking my nose in her classroom business, so to speak.
