Bah!  I'm so tired, so sick, so stressed it's ridiculous.  Can't it be April already?  Geez!  All week I've been excited for school to start on Monday because that means I'll finally figure what is expected of me and what I need to be doing.  Today, however, I found out that all the time that I thought I wouldn't be at school or work is SUPPOSED to be spent in my classrooms at Viewmont.  Good to know, but not what I needed to hear right now.  I was hoping to get my life and house put back in order over the next two weeks as well as get my lesson plans started, but now?  I have EXTREMELY limited time to do all of the above!  I'm not very happy about this.  In fact, I think it just took 10 years off my life.  I've been doing really good about not stressing over this too much, but now the stress has officially begun.  Kristin van Brunt (my cooperatring Language Arts teacher) is really cooperative so far and I am hoping she can be helpful along the way for this whole thing.  She's the head of the L.A. department at Viewmont, so I know I can learn a lot from her if I just pay attention.  I'll be meeting Jill Jones (psychology cooperating teacher) soon so that's good; it will be nice to finally meet her.  I'm still debating about teaching creative writing.  I think it would be so much fun, but it would be extra work that I'm not sure I should put on my plate.  Anyway, that is my rant for the day.

I got to play soccer last night!  It kicked my butt because I'm way super sick and I couldn't breathe pretty much AT ALL.  We lost--their first lost of the session.  Bummer!  And today I woke up with no voice, but it came back in the form of a terrible man cold, but it was worth playing again for a minute.  I am going to the Grizzlies hockey game tonight with all of Justin's family.  I shouldn't, but it's too fun to pass up.  I need a little fun in my life right now before the stress and worry consume me.

I need to finish this book I'm reading so that I can start reading the book I am going to be teaching.  It's important to get that started so I don't look like a complete idiot up there in front of all those high school students.

Well, Ciao for now!
