Addicted to procrastinating!

ARG! I have to clean my classroom but I cannot motivate myself to do it. So silly! What I used to do, in the old days of studying, was clean in order to procrastinate. So perhaps I have to study, which is sort of what I've been doing. Studying people's profiles on facebook, studying upcoming events in Saskatoon so I can plan out my first days, studying my thoughts.

Yesterday was a bit of an odd day. I woke up to find my watch battery was dead and I had stomach cramps. At school, I learned that another one of my darling students is moving (to Thailand) over the summer. She just found out on Wednesday. So many of my lovely students are graduating or moving. Hopefully we'll get a new crop of good ones (preferably musically inclined) next year.

After school I decided to go home to rest. I started the car and went to put something in my classroom. Little did I know that by closing the door, it would automatically lock the doors. Everything was in the car at that point! Luckily, I had planned to drive my neighbour home so she called our principal to see what we should do as I was ready to cry. He gave her the number of a mechanic nearby the school who came and jimmied open the lock.

Top this off with the overall heat and humidity being entirely intolerable- I was so cranky and tired and frustrated...but I managed to go home and relax for a bit, cheer myself up and then go run a couple errands including acquiring a new watch battery, and treat myself to a chocolate banana milkshake.

As for the weather, it's hot today but not so humid that perspiration begins the moment you step outside.

In other good news, I have a dentist appointment this afternoon. Hurray! Clean teeth.

I will be home on the 16th, time to be confirmed!
