Well, only a few days left of Christmas/Holiday/winter break. I have learned that to have the happiest breaks, I can't really sleep late. Because then I oversleep and when I wake up, I'm groggy all day and take lots of naps and I just generally feel awful.
So I've been getting up about the same time as normal, and I do my workout at the gym like normal, and then I come home and I'm much more productive with my time than I would have been. I've been getting my next semester of school ready to go, and I've been reading and writing and playing games and watching movies!! I feel so good about myself!

In other news, Saddam Hussein was hanged last night. I checked YouTube to see if the video is on there yet, but it isn't. The news is showing parts of it, so I know it exists.
I learned that the continents are drifting apart at about the same speed as how fast your fingernails grow.
I learned that more Americans have been killed in Iraq than were killed on 9/11.

I always get up around 4:30 to go to the gym before school (a healthy teacher is a happy teacher!!). I checked to see if we had school today. There were no announcements about school being closed. So I went to the gym. After my workout, I checked online from the gym to see if school had been cancelled. This was about 6:00. School was not cancelled.
So I got onto the Interstate, braving snow lions and narrowly missing polar bears that had gotten lost on the highway. It was still pretty dark, so my eyes may have been deceiving me, but I think I saw the Abominable Snowmonster over the treeline, looking cranky and throwing things around. He kept holding his hand to his jaw, so maybe he had a toothache.
Anyway, I made it to school, slid through the ice-covered parking lot and right into my parking space (ok, it's not really mine, but I always park there, and I get mad if another teacher parks there first). I get out of my car and walk toward the school, running into another teacher who asked me if I had heard. I asked her if I heard what. She said that they just cancelled school!
I went in anyway, and there were about a dozen teachers that commute to work that also arrived before we heard that school was cancelled. So we complained and laughed, and then I spent a couple of hours in my room cleaning up some stuff and doing some organizing that I always said was really important to do but never did.
Then I went home.
I never realized it until I was a teacher, but all teachers like snow days as much as or more than students!!

The day after Thanksgiving.
I'm kinda sick, a little. It figures. Not real bad, but I have a small sore throat and stuff. Luckily, I have Gears of War to keep me company.
I saw on the news today that the average American plans on spending about $750.00 on Christmas this year. Pshaw. I'll spend less than $100. Prolly less than $50.00. I'm so in debt it's funny. Actually, it's not funny.
I'm not into the whole religious thing of Christmas, but I sure do love the lights!!
By the way, did you know that the first roller coaster was invented by a preacher as a way to pull people away from alcohol? It's true!!
