Highs:
- It was the first day of school! It went well for the most part? I was nervous, but the parents seem nice, and [most of] the kids seem pretty good. I'm sure that will change though, ha!
- It's my Mom's birthday; Happy Birthday Mom!
- Alimi Ballard messaged me on Facebook again saying he was proud of me and how I'd make a great teacher! I don't even know him personally, but he's such a nice guy! That really means a lot that he messaged me.
- Grimm was on tonight; it's my favorite!
Lows:
- I feel a little overwhelmed with lessons and curriculum, but I think it will all work out!
Highs:
- I'm helping out the new person who is taking over Fountain Green. I emailed her a couple times, and I hope she finds everything I said helpful! :)
- Scale says I lost a pound, but I ate Famous Daves for dinner, and I have a weird feeling I'll be gaining that pound back. Ha!
Lows:
- I started to "clean" since we're having company stay with us next week. I hate cleaning.
Highs:
- I had my first new teacher training today. It was a little overwhelming (see lows), but at least now I feel like a real, new teacher (a little bit).
- I saw two of my favorite parents from Fountain Green. They were both at the training to help lead groups/classrooms, and it was great seeing them! They were both really happy for me! It was a good feeling.
- I met my mentor teacher today! She seems really nice!
- It's Friday.
- I got Panera for lunch. I seriously love Panera.
- I had a good 40-minute workout at the gym. I did the elliptical for 20 minutes, and then I rode the bike for 20. I felt good!
Lows:
- I'm stressing a little bit about next week. I still haven't been in my classroom to setup yet, and I'm getting worried I won't be setup in time! I still haven't received curriculum books yet either, which makes me nervous as well. I feel a little more "in the loop" after today, but I still feel out of the loop...if that makes sense? Ugh.
Highs:
- I went shopping today for new "teacher clothes". I spent a good amount of money, but it was needed! :)
- My Mom and I went to Noodles and Company for lunch; it was yummy!
Lows:
- I'm tired of people posting about setting up their classrooms. I can't get into my school, and it's annoying to read that everyone is moving forward. I guess I can relax a little knowing I actually have a teaching position this year; it just stinks that my school is undergoing construction, and no one can get in yet to setup. Ugh.
Highs:
- I had a meeting with my principal this morning, and it was very informative! I'm going to have a classroom (Room 21 - my favorite number!), and I was able to at least see it even though the school is undergoing construction. I'll also be taking some new teacher training this Friday and then some next week. I'm starting to feel like a real teacher. It's scary but exciting! :)
- I went to the gym again today after my meeting, and I had a pretty good workout!
Lows:
- I think I pulled something in my left shoulder. Ugh.
Highs:
- Shannon and I officially cleaned up camp today! It's 100% over!
- Shannon and I went to Panera for lunch. Yum!
- I went to the gym today! First time ever I've worked out in an actual gym. Shannon and I had to drop stuff off at the Y so we figured we'd workout while we were there. I saw a lot of my kids from camp too so it was a successful trip all around.
- GRIMM FINALLY CAME BACK!!!!! I love Grimm! :)
Lows:
- I felt like I was driving everywhere today between finishing up at camp, going to the office, and then going to the Ward Y.
Highs:
- My workout almost killed me today! But that's a good thing I guess! I ran a mile on the treadmill, and then I did the Tabata workout from Supreme 90 Day. My legs felt like jello when I was done.
- I got a new watch. I lost my old one, which could be a blessing in disguise since it beeped randomly, and it was annoying.
- I don't have work tomorrow! I am officially done with camp, which is soooooo exciting!
Lows:
- I gained a pound. I lost a pound a couple days ago, but I gained it back this morning. Must have been from the Chinese food and candy I ate yesterday. Yeesh.
Highs:
- It's the last week of camp! It could very well be my last week of ever working for the Y. I'm a little excited.
Lows:
- Reid got voted off Bachelor Pad tonight. He was a little sneaky, but that's part of the game! He's more smart than sneaky, but oh well. He got voted off anyway. So sad.
- We had to move into the gym at camp; we can't use the cafeteria anymore. It's going to be a long week.
- I didn't workout. I really was set on working out but decided not to when I got home. I will tomorrow. I promise.
Highs:
- I had a good workout today. I did 20 minutes on the bike, and then I did a 35 minute arms/shoulders video from Supreme 90 Day.
- I met Carrie in Towson and bought some stuff for my classroom!
- I had Panera for lunch. I love Panera!
- This was from yesterday, but I woke up to find Alimi Ballard is now following me on Twitter! Exciting! :)
Lows:
- Buying stuff for my classroom was a little hard since I'm kind of left in the dark about it. Hopefully I'll be told something shortly. I hope.
- I gained 2 pounds! Yeesh! I need to step up my workouts; NO MORE EXCUSES!
