Michael comes home tomorrow. I'm glad. Mostly. I will miss having the whole bed to myself. That's a lot of space to spread out in. But I do miss him. Not being paranoid and completely petrified of my shadow makes being without him a whole new experience. However, I'm getting irritable, and I think it's from the missing him.

In other news, my first week of teaching English is over. I gave my first test. A lot of people did not do well at all. Others aced it. Is this what normal teaching is like? I went over it in class and everything. There's no reason that anyone should have failed. But spelling seemed to be especially difficult. Why is this? I think I'm not very good at understanding because I always loved English and Spelling and reading and writing and all those nerdy things. My students mostly don't.

Anyway, I'm busy covering Michael's supervision duties this weekend. Which means no real weekend. I do have Sunday morning off. So maybe I can get some reading and unpacking done then.

This school year is just flying by. Next week Ben and Leslie and Justin and Shelley come to visit. I'm very excited. Although, we only have one bathroom and no extra beds. This house is a lot smaller than our last house. So that presents some challenges. But yeah, excited about that. And then the Wednesday after they leave is the beginning of homeleave. So hurrah for the quickness of time.

Also, we're thinking about working at camp next summer. That would be wild. We would be way old staff. And I've been away from camp for three summers. I hardly know anyone there anymore. But it would be fun and we'd be close to family for the summer. So that's the craziness for today. It's bound to get crazier.
