2nd 30 Day Writing Challege: Day 30 - The Month's Highs and Lows

Whew, made it!  It's the final day of the writing challenge: "Your highs and lows for the month".

Hmmmm... So here's an interesting conundrum. Because I am an educator, I spent a good portion of the past 30 days sitting on my couch reading, or going out for walks, or shopping, etc. It's kind of hard to actually have highs and lows with a schedule like that. Therefore, my highs and lows are pretty pathetic, but what I can do. If I had to complete this list during the school year, it would be so much more dramatic.

Highs:

• Spending the day hanging out with a colleague/friend "lesson planning" (code word for bullshitting, going out for lunch and dinner, and gossiping)
• Getting my classroom ready for the new school year (yes, I consider this a high point)
• Reading for pleasure (what can I say, I'm a nerd)

Lows:

• A day spent in bed because I was feeling under the weather
• Spending money I don't actually have on setting up my classroom
• Knowing that I did zero work and therefore am totally ill-prepared for the new school year

 See - pathetic, but I'm okay with that.

I've reached the end of this challenge and had a ton of fun doing it. It was kind of nice for someone else to decide what I should write about. Maybe I'll make it an every 2-year event, or maybe not.

Ciao for now.
