There's one last day of the semester left and then I'm officially 1/2 way through the school year. I haven't even had time to really think about my new classes next semester. I'm most concerned about having two yearbook classes. The other three classes I'm teaching next semester, I've taught before, so it should not be a lot of prep, but it is still a big transition. After my finals this morning, I grabbed lunch for Joe and I at Panera and got to work on re-PDF'ing yearbook pages. Every time a student looks through the final pages, they find more mistakes-- tiny mistakes, sure, but we are still finding them. I spent the late afternoon hanging my wall for the student show in the gallery. I have a few more paintings to hang and asked Josh to share a sliver of his wall with me. I had very talented students this semester and am very proud of the work on display.
After school I ran to pick up Balt and then darted off to meet Erika at yoga. It is my 11th day in a row and I'm starting to feel an ache in my mid back, my buttocks and hips. I have to start taking it easy on the back bends and the hip openers. I am amazed at how each day I seem to sweat in different places more. Today my legs were completely soaked. I can tell my breathing a bit more steadier, but I am still very distracted. There's a lot on my mind lately and I'd like to get better at letting it go for the hour I'm on my mat. I came home from yoga, showered, heated up left over chicken and then got to work on my scrapbook. I got through Halloween-- so close to being done. I'm hoping to finish this weekend.
