Let me have my peaceful lunch

Today, I woke up rather moody and cranky. I was extremely tired, I haven’t slept much over the last few days. Some of this was my own fault, but some of it was due to work. But, I somehow managed to get to work and teach classes. During my second class, we had a 14 yr old participating in a job shadowing day, so she sat in on classes and observed things during the day. Since I had her in class before lunch, I was to make sure she got somewhere for lunch. Unfortunately, no one really took the lead on deciding where I should take her and from what she told me she already had made connections with someone. So, I was like, okay and she ran off as I finished cleaning up after my class. As I walked out I could see her walking to the cafe, so I knew she was on the right track. Of course, then a bunch of students of mine were like – where’d she go? I told them, and they kept bugging me all through my 20 min lunch as I tried to eat. This of course didn’t help my mood as I got frustrated with the fact that I can’t even enjoy 20 mins of peace to eat.

But, it all paid off as I went to class to be a student again. I love my class, I really do. Today we talked more about political culture and began discussing the second author and how he was different from the first. It’s all so very fascinating. I’ll have some audio to share later in the week.

Due to an event, I had canceled my one o’clock class, so I had about an hour of down time – of course I spent it all conversing on twitter and reading the news Then I struck the second show in three days. Thankfully, I had student help this time, which was a godsend, I swear it. We got done in time so I could get home at a regular hour and enjoy part of my evening.

I am having one problem. My left contact is not wanting to play nice with my eye. I’m hoping it just means my eye is not being nice and deciding to be dry and irritated, because if the contact is going bad it means I need to make an appointment with an eye doc because this is my last contact lens. I’ve managed to make these last for 3 solid years, which is longer than the recommended 2, so I know I’m pushing them to the limit.

I get to sleep in tomorrow, first thing I have is a faculty meeting in the afternoon, but it’s a late night getting home after 9pm.

And now I’m off to bed, Peace and Love.
