Today, I arrived at my subbing job and the school looked very empty. I checked in with the office and- hurray!- it’s a short day, Late Start Wednesday!
My classes thus far have been good, nothing too crazy, but I’ve still come home everyday exhausted and with no voice. It takes a while to toughen up that “loud” voice.
A late start is obviously good news for the kids, good news for me, and good news for all the things that I need to get done! Phew, finally a nice little break. Matt has gotten to watch movies all day long and gotten numerous prep periods – finally, my turn. It was actually quite lucky that today I dropped off Matt rather than the other way around. So, I took the Merc (that’s what the Brits call them- I just found out) and headed to a place that is everyone in Sac’s “third place,” the Donut Shop. Delicious donuts and fresh coffee for only $2. Lovely. Plus, I got to spend my morning writing for NaNoWriMo (well, plus this, and reading my buku [Indonesian = book], plus people watching, man people can eat donuts around here!)
p.s. I have also learned that there are no “long johns” here, these are called “bars.” One maple bar and one chocolate bar please…
Whatever. One creme-filled chocolate longjohn please!
p.s.s. The donut shop also sold snow cones. For some reason I found this highly amusing.
If all were to go swimmingly...
