oh so laughable
So, the contract didn't last long. I bought stuff, as to be expected, but at least I haven't really been eating ice cream. Costco sells huge bags of frozen fruits, and I've been using them to make smoothies.I did, however, go to the gym. I also, laughably, puked and blacked out after going on the ellipticals.
It reminded me that no matter how smart I try to be, it doesn't really matter if my body decides to break down. Stay healthy, stay healthy, stay healthy.
Oh, and after bruising my pride, I still haven't been back to the gym. But I will! I promise!
Lately, I've been busy doing my whole tutoring thaaang. There's a constant stream of worksheets and quizzes to make, as well as papers to grade. I'm teaching my kids "close reading" to see if it's possible to master it at a middle/high school level. So far, they're doing surprisingly well, and they seem very proud of themselves for what they could accomplish. I'm doing a kinda Gothic theme summer reading, but we'll see how long that lasts. I think I still have to hit up the old Lord of the Flies and Brave New World and other "society gone wrong" books.
My new haircut makes me look too nice and peppy. It's so...bouncy. And way too short for my taste. Maybe I'll let it grow long and go for the dark, mysterious look which I know I can't pull off for my life. I guess peppy is okay for the summer, and it does look nice with the two new bathing suits I got (one red, one pink). I hate swimming, and I doubt I'll have that much time to go to the beach, but I love buying bathing suits, especially when they're only $15 each (Marshalls).
I really need to start doing some summer reading of my own, but I find myself reading the stuff I'm giving the kids rather than the books I need for school. I'm really glad I took Nunokawa's 19th century lit course, because I'm totally in love with both Dickens' Our Mutual Friend and Eliot's Middlemarch. I'd love to do my JP on either of those books, or maybe on Sexton or Bishop.
