A Two and a Half Thin Mint Day

12:40pm

I’m really tired and out of it today, I think I have a tension headache, and all I want is to go home and take a nap (and listen to Alanis Morissette, because I just got one of her songs—“All I Really Want”—in my head. Not sure if it is stuck in there yet). Too bad today has barely begun. I still have seven hours left at work, and an hour to perk up before my first class and our mini field trip to the supermarket. Shouldn’t be too hard. Until then I’ll keep refilling my tea mug. I’m glad this is only a four-day week. Maybe I can sleep for a long time on Friday during Peace Memorial Day.

Perked up! The field trip was great—we brought our students to the supermarket to learn about fruit. The other teacher and I held up different fruits and asked our students about the colors and if they liked the fruits or not. It went exceptionally well considering my students’ gnat-like attention span. Plus, I got a Thin Mint for that class as part of my reward system.

I ate Thin Mint #2 as a reward for my second class going well. Best reward system ever (for me, at least). Also, Spring has sprung and life is goood. I’m going to start increasing the frequency of my nighttime dance parties in the park.

Third class was decent so I gave myself half of a Thin Mint (blasphemy, I know). Upon leaving school I almost got hit by a car which decided to back out after I had already started walking in the pedestrian zone, and then would not stop. The driver was on the receiving end of one of my patented “If Looks Could Kill” glares. I despise motor vehicle operators in my city. I’m sure they are nice enough when not trying to run over everyone and everything, but seriously, folks. Sometimes I’m afraid to walk around.
