As Brad always says most things come down to time or money. So which of those things do you need more? Apparently I value money more than my time because although I appreciate being able to save money by carpooling, I've been waking up way, way too early for the past month and a half. Contract time for school is 8:10 to 3:50. But because I am carpooling with other teachers who want to be to school by 7:30 at the latest (and generally don't leave their rooms until 4 or later) I've been spending a lot of time in the teacher's l
ounge. The past few mornings I've gone straight to the lounge and laid down on the big leather couch and gone back to sleep for 45 minutes (students don't show up until 8:40) and sometimes an hour. But this morning I spent some time in the faculty bathroom snapping photos of myself and my big old belly.On a non-school related note...I have a new favorite food joint called Sammy's. Tonight I had a great chicken sandwich with avocado and provolone cheese. And the best part are their real-pie shakes. They literally fill a cup with icecream and then put a real piece of pumpkin pie on top and mix it all together...needless to say it is DELICIOUS.
In other events: we saw the amazing Chinese Acrobats at BYU. They did the whole deal, body contortions, plate spinning, lion dance, and amazing men's acrobatics. It was a very entertaining evening. We also saw a dance show called "Thriller" at the new Covey center. They were incredibly talented dancers. And coming up this Friday we are going to the Olympic trials for speed skating in Sandy. And if I weren't so pregnant we would go to the corn maze at Thanksgiving Point. However, as you can see from the pictures I have become enormous and walking much more painful to my back and hips. Anyways, anyone who is in Provo should stop by Sammy's and get a real-pie shake.
Oh, one last thing...I have a 5 day weekend starting today. The kids have a fall break starting Thursday and coming back to school on Tuesday, so I too get a fall break. This means I get a 5 day weekend then only have 4 more days of teaching...then I'm done. Done, done! My TESOL minor class that I am taking this semester also got shortened by 2 weeks because my professor is awesome. This means I am done with my class next week. And finally, my TESOL practicum that I did in tandem with student teaching is almost done as well. I have to finish 2 more write ups and go to an exit interview and then I'm done with that. So, all-in-all I will be completely finished with school by the end of next week! Done, done with school...forever!!!
Oh, and did I mention I'm only five weeks away from our Due Date? Hip-Hip-Hooray!!!
