forever and a day

i'm not sure where to even begin. once again it seems like i haven't been on here in ages. i spent most of this week and all of this weekend doing nothing. the week spent with misty, kate, and derek completely wiped me out. i'm not use to being on the go so much. it almost felt i travel across country. my school week was pretty uneventful. i have three new students and will getting some more on monday. oh the joy. i did go a a mini field trip with one of my students jeff. we were learning how to write directions and i figured the best way to do was to actually go to the place we were writing about. i picked primus which is the movie theater across from our school. so hand in hand we set out so he could learn right/left, etc. it was actually quite fun. we had a race up the bridge which i won. and then another race down the bridge which jeff won. once inside the theater jeff wanted to play a video game so i gave him some money. at first he thought it was for me to ride the bus home and didn't want to take my money but i told him that wasn't the case. on our way back to school we had another race up and down the bridge. i'm not sure why but running down the bridge always seems much harder. one would think since its down hill it would be easier but no. anyway jeff seemed to enjoy the mini-field trip and the video game. it seemed to help him alot when it came time for us to write the directions out since he was able to visualize it. he's such a great little boy. i'm glad i'm teaching him this month. all week in taekwondo we've been playing soccer for the first 20 minutes. not sure why but we have. anyway, playing soccer in barefeet is HARD!! the inner soles of my feet are black and blue. i've never been kicked so much in all my life. i can say this that once tkd is done i'm going to have the toughest legs ever. on friday i learned the rest of form 4. hopefully i'll have it mastered and be able to test for the purple belt. YEAH!! the weekend was spent doing nothing. actually i did manage to clean on saturday and rearrange my furniture some. i felt it was time for a new look. plus i got some sheets and pillow cases from jp. one set has dark red circles and the other is a brownish color with lines. these definitely bring some life to my bedroom. thanks again jp. you rock!! i'm going to spend some time this week adding stuff to my walls. i need to make it a bit more homey. not much else happening. now that i'm fully recovered i'll be posting more regularly. i know you all are excited. hopefully by midweek or sooner i'll have the details of my visit with the gang. until then be well…
