Productive Days Off

I don't have many days off, and now that I have 3 in a row and I'm not leaving town I'm not quite sure how to handle all the time. The past two days have been productive and I have high hopes for tomorrow as well.

Friday morning I got the good news I had been waiting for. My assistant principal called and offered me the math lab position that I worked in last year, only this time instead of only 5 hours each day I'll be there all day- 7 hours. I'm excited to be back at the high school and working with all levels of math! It can be difficult to handle the different ages and materials but I can't wait to be back in the school! After that phone call the rest of my day was on a cloud! I worked a few hours at Mathnasium and then ran errands before going to Old Navy and working a four hour shift there. The rest of my night was wonderful. I was able to hang out with good friends and have that social pick me up that I desperately needed. It made for a long day (and night) but was well worth the loss of sleep.

Saturday (day 1 off) I met with my friend and soon to be new roommate to look at some apartments. We saw three different places, two of them were in the running at the end of the day. We made our pros and cons list and talked it through. We have decided on one, now we just need to get the application process underway and hopefully we'll be moving in a few weeks! After all of that I was quite tired and spent the rest of my night relaxing. I watched a movie, went to bed, and got 10 hours of sleep...bliss!

Sunday (day 2 off) I felt productive within an hour of waking up! So I did my laundry, made my shopping list, talked to my parents on the phone to finalize my new apartment plans, and planned what I would cook tomorrow as my meal for the week. I went school supplies shopping! Yes even as a teacher I get excited about buying school supplies! I went to the grocery store and stocked up on food to make baked ziti with homemade meat sauce tomorrow and stuff to bring to school for lunch each day. Then my day got even more fun. I met up with one of my friends and went to the outlet mall. I found a few new sweaters for school and a dress for another friends wedding! I plan to relax the rest of the night and just enjoy some time to myself.

Check back tomorrow for the recipe for my baked ziti that I plan to make tomorrow!!
