Finally I Got Some Sleep!

couldn't sleep at all on Wednesday night, so yesterday (Thu) I was all pathetic. Lose all the games with kids, including the memory games, and I'm usually quite good at memorizing numbers! Then went on to give Sentoku-san a wrong copy of the TOEIC test and he was wondering why he kept getting all the wrong answers...

Good news is that I got home last night and droped like a rock... turned on PC, checked e-mail, and fell asleep before even turned off light or PC! Didn't even have time to shower or even change out of my teaching clothes.

Once in a blue moon, I don't have morning lessons on Friday. Today is one of those "blue moons." Could have slept in, but woke up at 0730 anyway. Oh well, I'm sure it would come in handy when I have to break camp early to paddle ...

I spend two weeks *trying* to read two novels, one by Murakami Haruki and one by Natsume Soseki, both translated into English, and I don't know why it's so difficult. I'm still not finished with either of them, but decided to move on to read something easy for a change ... and started reading Anne of Green Gables. For goodness's sake, the child is a Cordelia-wannabe!!!

Sometimes I have to wonder why so many women wish to be young or child-like again. As an adult, I can still go back to read kids literature, enjoy it thoroughly, WHILE I have a beer and chocolate with rum, AND wake up next day to paddle a kayak from Fred's to DB. I can even completely screw everything up in school and go home without the fear of a spanking. My parents did let me have chocolate rum, even let me have brandy and strong spirits when I was a kid, but they would never let me paddle a kayak from Fred's to DB. And if I were to screw up like I did yesterday, well, I very much doubt that I would even want to sit on my sore butt in a kayak for 14 hrs.
