the NOT snow day

so much for the so-called snow day. word is that it did snow somewhere, but everywhere i've been it's been sunny and clear, not a speck of snow anywhere. i think i've currently got more "snow" in my freezer than exists in all of downtown portland.

naturally the buses were 20 minutes late and schools were closed just the same, because PPS closes at the drop of a hat. i'm sure there were a lot of happy kids running around town but at PSU things went on as normal. i could have used a break from tiny cramped desks but no such luck. oh well, as the saying goes, I'm paying for it...

eating lunch with brian after class was fun though. that's a new experience for me. my class is right down the street from his office and ends around noon, so i met up with him for lunch, something i have never really done before. this is one benefit of the new way of life that i find myself in.
then normally i'd be off to tutoring. instead i tried to go see if i could find j.......but i can't remember where her office was. i ended up talking to m..... and she said c....... got a $240 bike ticket during a sting operation. that's gotta hurt. i hope they are able to challenge this successfully in court because that's pretty lame.

my first night of tai chi got cancelled due to lack of snow...i guess. it's just as well, i really don't feel very good at the moment anyway. i'm gonna stay away from doing anything with beaverton tomorrow either, which is too bad because the classroom next door to the one i was at on monday has two listings and i really get a kick out of the ISC kids, they're a nice bunch and a lot of fun to hang out with for a day (i envy the girl who's doing student teaching there, that would be a fun assignment), and double plus plus--it's an easy school to get to via public transit. oh well, that's life. it's still there, but i really think i should recuperate, my energy level is at an all time low, and i can't touch caffeine which i really need for situations involving K-6.

oh well. i'm glad it's friday though, i need to regroup and try some new approaches next week.
