sadie_cocopuffonce again, spent the afternoon at the village cafe, drinking a delicious delicious mocha and lesson planning. pre-algebra is all done for the week (but it's one of my favorite classes to plan, so i guess it's all uphill from here :P), though i have to make some worksheets and go buy more candy for another variable activity. bribing my 7th graders to like math, you're thinking? why yes, absolutely. sugar makes variables much friendlier.
as an added bonus, i got to hang out with kelley for the first time since school started. we managed to solve all the world's problems in our several-hour conversation. just kidding. but it was happy, and i had orange juice to counteract the mocha-induced dehydration (and to stave off any marauding bugs that might be looking to make me sick -- i've had a sore throat for a couple days out of every week since the first day of school).
prior to all this, i spent several hours of my morning playing volleyball against the saint michael's team, which was a great deal of fun, but unkind to my shoulder. the same one i messed up by falling off a bike on a remote island off the coast of ireland. it's protesting loudly, though i've hushed it up a little with modern chemistry. the ragtag team of teachers and parents did beat the volleyball team, but it was a near thing. they've improved wondrously since the beginning of the school year. one of the 6th graders consistently gets overhand serves over the net. i was pretty impressed. most girls that age just haven't developed the muscles to exert that kind of force. they play two more games this week, and then their season is over (way too soon, imho, but this is what we get for not playing in any league -- when your team has a 6th grader and a 12th grader on it, it's pretty hard to figure out where they should go). but basketball and soccer are starting up. go saints!
gluten free pizza for dinner, followed by a gluten free donut. i consider this an excellent meal, if not exceptionally nutritious. now, off to read any number of things that are lying around waiting to be read, and maybe watching an episode or two of "skins" (a rather good british tv show) if my dad ever gets off netflix...
hope everyone else is having a similarly satisfying weekend.
