Tired

What's wrong with this world?

Soccer - the players don't care. I get nothing but aggravation from all involved. Sports are supposed to be fun.

School-people need to learn how to communicate.

I'm tired.

I'm one

Another not so hard week in my life...

A. Monday - no problems, union meeting was good/productive
B. Tuesday - ok, meeting with my people (new teachers) went well
C. Wednesday - out observing above mentioned teachers. They have really improved and sound/look more confident in their teaching delivery.
D. Thursday - still suck at tennis.
E. Friday - no soccer game with kids on field trip, went to see the 1st place team. That team lost, so we're in first place now no matter what Peter says.

Tomorrow looks good. Going to spend the day with Caty (no tennis, not because I suck, but because Greg is out of town). Maybe a trip to Best Buy for ipod. We'll see...

Teaching is still hard. Soccer is good, especially since we went to the once a week practices. I see less of them, which makes me like them more and hopefully we don't get burned out from too much futbol.

Have a nice opening day to the NBA playoffs.

Hard Sun

This has been one of the nicest weeks so far this year.

Why?
1. I got to see Eddie Vedder in concert on Monday in Berkeley. It was an amazing show from start to finish. He's an amazing performer.
2. It's parent-conference week - so the kids are good in class because they know I'll be speaking with their parents. The parents have been good listeners and have shown a lot of support this week. That's a good thing with the state test coming up in a few weeks.
3. Only 1 soccer practice and since I kicked off what's his name, my day has been much easier with no phone calls about what he did 'this time'.
4. My meeting with my new teachers (I guess they're not so new anymore) went well because they all have found a way to contribute to the group productively.
5. Soccer tomorrow against the other team at our school - should be a good game. We beat them last year, so I stopped worrying about beating them. Now it's just for fun.
6. Playing with Caty tonight was a blast. We colored, ran, made each other laugh, it was great!

Thanks for reading.

I'm looking to revamp the blog soon, look for some changes.

Only 5 more shopping days till my b-day on the 16th.

Have a nice information day. (get it 4-11!)

House of Cards

Survived another week in 3rd grade land...
Soccer was bittersweet as I kicked off a player, but we won our game 2-1...
Tennis was also bittersweet as I lost again, but the team won 5-2.

Tomorrow is a new day. Tennis in the morning against a good team that we have not played before. I'm looking forward to it, for sure. The Final Four games are on tomorrow afternoon, I'm excited for that. There is also a poker cash game tomorrow evening that I may attend to see if my good luck continues. Then Sunday is looking is good - we're going to get some ice cream in the afternoon.

Speaking of luck - I went on to the Ticketmaster page to see if any extra Eddie Vedder tickets were released and yes, I got one for Monday in Berkeley. Again, excited.

Have a nice semifinal day.
