Melanie's Mostly Writing

I get bored of eating the same Subway sandwich every day for lunch (turkey, bacon and avocado on wheat with honey mustard) so the teacher from Mississippi recommended a rice bowl. We went together to the KFC inside Homeplus. She got the sweet and spicy one and I, being deathly afraid of spicy stuff these days, got the teryaki one. It was not bad. Not very authentic teryaki, but a nice change.

I got the beginnings of a headache coming on now though. The pain is behind my left eye. I have to teach all afternoon, except for one free period, so I went to the drugstore and bought some Tylenol. Hopefully that gives me a bit of relief until hometime. I’m just going to take my time working on the graduation song and speech. Graduation is not until February but I want to get ahead and get it written. That way I don’t worry about it over Winter vacation.

    Today was graduation day for the kindergarten kids. It went well. We had rehearsed a lot, so on the whole it went without a hitch. The children all got their awards and bowed and then sang a song by Bruno Mars called The Day My Life Begins. It was bittersweet. The mothers and fathers all…

    Well my days off have ended and I was back at work today. Luckily there are two free periods on a Thursday so it wasn’t a total shock to the system. I was able to ease back in. Tomorrow is a full day but it’s almost the weekend. I didn’t do the things I’d planned…
