Tiring day, long wek, trying to keep butt outta depressed mode

Mind to Bind class was GREAT - we are teaching/discussing Writing environmens and told writers need. We first showed pictures of different environments and had them reflect on what was good/bad. We had them go to two more environments today. One was the Natural Marine Sciences career class - that is a great class as he has fish tanks and all sorts of things and he let us come in so he is lecturing and the students are distracted by the fish tanks and ponds and it was cold and very smelly and it was great.

Then we took them outside and they were cold because most did not think to bring jackets - and there was no place to write so they were making student chains writing on each other's backs and stuff, plus they had to write 3 sentences before going back in - it was great. They really liked comparing - Monday we will have them design their ideal place.

But teaching that, and then I had back to back to back to back teachers coming in every period for training and each period was different - I am wiped and still have doctor's appointment and so much to do.

Add in just bummed and depressed about a number of things and thinking about some stuff and some people way too much - well long day.

I think I will try for a little road trip at least during the winter break - maybe plan it around like house of blues and concerts or something - if I could find someone to come with that would be extra cool!!!!!
