Doin Stuff

The entire month of September was spent figuring out life, and while this is still happening, I finally have something concrete to do. On Tuesday, Carsta and I figured out a schedule. It isn't done, I only have ten hours right now, and we need to get 2 more in, so I am still in the process of asking teachers if I can come. I would really love to help out with the 5th and 6th graders, but they already have enough people helping (but they don't know my energy!). On Thursday, I half taught four classes. Some of the times I didn't exactly know what I was doing, but winging it has generally been a strong point of mine. For an eighth grade class, I had them do a small debate with one another, and then talked about dating with a 10th grade class, they were quite unresponsive.

Then I was done, and it was good to relax, but when I relax, I don't just relax, I become a sloth. Since I still don't really know anyone here, and don't really know how I go about meeting people, life is slow. Usually I can be quite the social butterfly (as seen with my tendancies to meet everyone at Frisbee tournaments), but this is such a different situation than I have ever been in. I did do something constructive today, I went running, and it felt so good. I haven't gone running in months, it was me, my ipod, and paths I just took. I am one step closer to my lifetime goal of running a marathon.

And now I am going to buy new bedding and an alarm clock!
