today i was yoda. tomorrow i might be chewbacca...deal with it.

so...yesterday i had my follow-up interview. i left school right after my last kiddo was picked up and drove down so that i could locate the correct building, as it was not on campus. i ended up locating the place with no problem (besides the fact that i was about an hour early; punctuality is one thing, over-extending their hospitality might be a little on the unacceptable side). so i went to a nearby tom thumb to get some small non-perishables.

while there, i really had to use the restroom-hate public restrooms...when i walked in, there was someone in a stall and the door was about two inches open, then i saw a hand reach down and grab the bottom of the door to pull it shut (thank goodness), so i proceeded to the last stall. while there, it sounded like the lady was giving birth (very vocal), then it sounded like it progressed to a wrestling match....and she was talking to herself. i heard the flush and washing of hands and i thought it was safe to come out to avoid the awkward moment of meeting this person...but no. she was still there when i walked out. it was a store employee. friendliest thing. she was smilin', said hello, asked how my day was, kept talking all the way out the door. hmm.

 while i was there, i purchased this tea, thinking it was a type of green tea (the title was a bit deceiving)...i saw that it had senna, but thought, surely it's not going to have any effect. well, i drank it around 8p.m. and by 4 or 5 a.m. my stomach was hurting when i woke up i realized that indeed those china-folk of old knew their herbal plants and medicines! in fact, i think perhaps the lady i met at tom thumb had drunk something similar!

it's herbal, not green

yep..it works

once i left, i headed back to the smu building. i went inside and found my room. i was still a little early. anyhoo, after i did my thing, i left still feeling uncertain about the results. at this point i have a reason to feel this way. i honestly have no idea which way this will go.

on the way home i stopped at walmart to get my perishable items. i also got doublemint so that i could celebrate grandma today.

i also found a couple of cool cups to use at school...they will work perfectly-

this is for days when i am feeling wise and on the ball.

you can imagine how i'm feeling on the days i use this one.

 so when i got home, i took a few minutes to chop up my greens. i LOVE it when veggies are pre-washed!

i have a student teacher now, and today was her first day. the interesting thing is that when we were talking during specials, i mentioned the class i'd just had, and she said, they're crazy...and not in a good way. (...even she noticed).

tomorrow we continue our poem project for  dancing in the wings.

goodnight!
