I am going to write this and then go
to bed.
I didn't get around to looking
through my research paper articles today at work. The day went by
really fast. I helped out with literacy centers in both kindergarten
classes this morning and had classes and small groups in the lab
throughout the day. I briefly worked on my website, just to add a
proper footer. I also wrote a response to the discussion post from
last week because today was the last day for it and I wanted to be
sure I got full points.
After lunch I went down to the
library to help them set up for the book fair. And then back near
the end of the day and stayed until five o'clock. I was aware of how
many books are at a book fair but I never really thought of how much
work goes into setting it all up. And how much random crap there is.
There is so much stuff that is not anywhere close to book-related.
The librarian told me to stop by tomorrow and pick out a free book
for helping. I probably won't but if I do I'll definitely be
donating money to buy books for kids. A first grader came in near
the end of school to check out a book and he said his mom said they
couldn't get any books at the book fair because they needed the five
dollars for food. Super depressing. When he left the librarian said
he would definitely be getting a free book. During each book fair
kids are picked at “random” to come down and pick out a book,
thanks to money that people donate. That's something I can get
behind. When I was in middle school my mom put my name in a raffle
at parent-teacher conferences and I won however much money in free
books. It was amazing.
Tonight I accomplished nothing.
It's rough. I'm not surprised but it's also a little disappointing.
Hopefully tomorrow is the day. I just need a break. More than a
week off from school would be nice. I think I'm down to less than a
month until Winter break. There is still a lot of work to be done in
that small amount of time but I'm getting there.
Now it's bed time.
