today i biked to work - it took four or five minutes - it takes me between three and fifteen minutes to drive to work... i biked home from work with dan... it was nice to chat and it meant that i couldn't be super lazy - it prolly took us five or six minutes to bike to my place because of the crazy wind- but i did it.. and hated it. i really do not enjoy biking - but i'm going to try to bike to work for the rest of the year.
the rest of the day was fun - it was "grandfriends day" so it was great to meet the grandparents of these kids. i had a bunch come visit us in drama class which was madness today because the kids were working on 15 minute hamlet productions in a tiny room (we usually split up but today all the classrooms were occupied due to grandfriends day). i think it went well - the kids stayed mostly on task.
i ended up eating lunch with dan, dave, hilary, four students and 2 grandfriends. one of the students was not connected to either of the grandparents so he hung out on our side of the table and we frightened him with just how insane his teachers are when we hang out in a group... today we planned the teacher band band... a concert band made up of teachers who play terribly... the boys want to play jurassic park - they sound like my students...
after getting home i made dinner (another plus of biking - eliminates the temptation of picking up dinner on the way home from school - especially with dan biking with me) and then went to zumba. i have never had this teacher before - it was a lot more dance-y than workout-y i think... so when i got home i went for a walk/run... i'm attempting to complete the learn to run thing - in 10 weeks i should be able to comfortably run a 5k... we'll see if that happens - but day 1 of the plan was successful. my goal for the next 2 months while i have a lot less teaching is to get into shape - or at least in a habit of exercise. i just need to fight the temptation of collapsing on the couch and watching netflix/dvds as soon as i walk through the door... so hard to find that motivation these days.
oh well - i'm off to sleep now... all the exercise today did make me exhausted so that's a good thing for me :)
g'nite

wow, i'm impressed! good job esp on the biking to school. And i would totally go on walks with you.. too bad we don't live closer. Remember when we used to walk around my neighbourhood after you dropped me off from common ground? (and rehash the evening's events, haha)
