Catching Up!

Lordy, what a week. It's 5:30 and I'm in my pj's with a load of laundry in the washer and the latest episode of Real Housewives of Whatever on in the background. But we need to catch up. Let's do this bullet point style.

* BOTH of my classes are great! At the beginning of the semester, I hope and pray for "normal" or "OK" or "fine" or, Lord help me, "not psycho." But my classes are great! I'm sure there will be some issues here and there (that's life) but already they are opening up and coming to see me after class and one student has already visited my office! I can do this.

I try to start the semester off on a stricter note than I eventually maintain. I'm still funny and enthusiastic and jokey, but I run a tight ship at first in the hopes that I won't have big discipline problems later. I try to be like this.


But the students laugh at me (which can be a good thing!) and it makes me feel like I look like this.


*After the chaos of last semester I worked very hard to arrange a day off. And that day is Friday. I'm a genius. Of course the day will usually be full of grading and prepping for class and doing my own reading/writing, but still.

*We had our first date night this week! We went to a real restaurant and paid good money for a good meal. There was wine and cheese and appetizers and desserts. I could get used to this. Even in the middle of a crazy week.

*The date night is a big goal of mine, and speaking of that, I haven't done many other things lately, goal-wise. The first couple of weeks of class are like that. The big goals are rolling along and I'm making progress, but remember the daily goals? One small change each day? Hahahahaha I haven't done that in like 10 days at this point. So, you know, that's gotta start up again soon. Like, tomorrow.

The best alcoholic coffee EVAHHH.
*I've watched two really good movies lately. Put these on your list immediately:

The Martian

The Spy

And that's all I got. I'm going to enjoy this weekend because from next week until May I'll be grading like a mofracker.
