Back to Work!

It was back to work today. As I had been out of school on Friday, it was tough focusing after being gone. (That is why I hate to take time off!)

I got a good report from my friend who subbed for me. She did leave an interesting summary of my classes. Period 1, she said was sleepy (to be expected). Period 2 was described as a group of individuals. Period 5 was described as competitive. (This is interesting because they are all very smart, but can be a handful, because they are so competitive--for my attention, for each other's attention, etc.) Period 7 was described as being very socialized, a correct observation. Period 10 she said was a nice group, who liked being in a small class. They are a sweet group of kids, and my smallest class--only 11. Shhh. Don't tell the administration!

After work, I went to the gym--not the school gym, but the health club that I started to go to in October. I decided that I needed to start to take care of myself. (I hadn't been in a gym since I left high school in 1970!) My personal trainer is a former paratrooper--he really made me work hard today. Felt good!
