Procrastination: Beautiful & Evil

for a reason that i cannot understand, i have been sitting at my computer doing everything except preparing for tommorow for the last hour and 15 minutes. my bedtime is 10 pm. it's 9:45 pm. since 8:30 (maybe even longer?) i have been sitting here writing emails, ordering school supplies, reading emails, reading other teachers' blogs, reading other friends' blogs, reading the news, checking the weather, listening to music, burning CDs....hmm, i think that's about it.

work was incredibly stressful today, and has been for a few weeks. it was fine, just stressful. there is way too much going on in the coming week, which is amazing considering that spring break begins on march 22. you'd think that the week leading up to spring break wouldn't need to have two assemblies, open house, and district testing, right? wrong! i do not control my time during school or after school next week. on the bright side, that means i don't have to plan as many lessons. the flipside, though, is that what lessons i do plan will be a little bit hap-hazard and i'll have a harder time staying organized with all of the disruptions. it's a double edged sword, because the kids and i both like it when the week is broken up a little by different activities, but it is also really difficult because it disrupts the classroom and their learning.

okay. that's it. it's 10. i must go plan.
