I haven't blogged for a really long time and now I feel like there's too much to catch up with. See, you there, self, that's why you need to do it every day even if it's only a sentence. This will not stand! Now I'm conflicted about whether I should go back to days ago, or just start with today. And how do I prioritize when many things have occurred since last time I wrote? Okay, whatever, I'm in danger of not finishing what I start again and I do hate myself a lot when I do that. It would be so much better if I could type faster and without looking at my hands. Stupid hands and eyes. Can't do the two simultaneously. And why is 'everything' one word, but every day is supposed to be two? Argh. Ugh.
Today I went to the ceramics room after school because there was supposedly ceramics club but nobody was there. The art teacher let me into her room and said she thought it would be fine though if I went in through the connecting door and worked on my stuff, so I tried to throw a pot on the kick wheel while watching a youtube video on how to do it, failed mostly, but it was fun, just frustrating, then painted my little pyramids I had made with glaze, started to paint one of my ceramic donuts then decided it was going to take too long, then organized all the bottles of glazes because the mess has been driving me nuts every time I saw them for weeks now. Wow, that was a pretty long run on sentence, but I'm not going to change it now. I also ate a real donut because they were going to throw them away when they're only two days old. Baked goods aren't really healthy, but they also don't go bad, right?
My reading student didn't feel like reading and I said that's fine, I can just read to you, so she followed along while I read How to Steal a Dog. It's a very good book. It was our school secretary's birthday last week but I didn't know that, and I had brought her a rose just to be nice the day before, and made a card for the principal's birthday the other day, which was also the same day everyone found out a beloved teacher whom I didn't know had passed away, but tonight I will make her a card too and it will just be late. It's okay to be late sometimes. Our teacher gave me a thank you card for giving her a bday gift the week before and that was really nice. This one kid in class has started asking me for help with criminal law and first of all, they have criminal law in high school? And second of all, it's really interesting, so I'm glad he lets me help him. I kind of think I just gave him a few of the answers, but he seems like he understands most of it and is working pretty hard, so that's important.
Another kid from health class, where they are doing a long mental health unit up until Spring break, is struggling with prioritizing and being organized so I'm having to work on that myself in order to facilitate helping him through the work. It's heavy on curriculum and participation, but not a lot of homework or studying is required, so you just have to be 'on top' of it and try not to fall behind.
Today in 'Life Skills' the group of (boys only) kids got to make simple pancakes from scratch and then eat them, which is the best way to end a class. I'm out. Peace. Hopefully I will be here again tomorrow...Friday, yay!! P.S. We saw the opening night of the school musical last night, and although it wasn't as overall good as years previous, there were lots of fun moments and some lovely singers.
