learning how to observe...

starting tomorrow, i will be sitting in a high school classroom for two and a half hours a day for two weeks, doing nothing more than observing, and writing said observations down.

why? why would i put myself through such torture? why would i ever want to go back to high school?

i haven't quite figure that out yet...any of it, to be honest. what i do know is that observation is required by the course i am taking this semester, and also, that i am beyond extremely nervous about it!

so here's to new experiences and learning how to observe...just...observe...haha, oh the things i get myself into! :)

goodnight all!

swell and swollen...

today i played racquetball for the first time in, oh, probably 2 years!

because i'm considered an "intermediate" player by my coach, i was put with the "big boys" to start off the class. it took a little bit, but it all started coming back to me. within two hours i had played four matches: 2 single matches, a doubles match and a cut-throat match. I lost both the singles, and won the doubles and cut-throat matches (though barely). all in all it was an awesome time...my knees, on the other hand, do not agree with this sentiment.

i've had knee and hip issues for approximately 10 years now, and because of it my active level is kept relatively low. racquetball, for those who don't know, is a fairly high impact sport that requires a lot of running, jumping, sweating, etc... something me, and my knees are not used to. so while i had fun today, my knees look like two red gummy bears left in a glass of water overnight. (if you don't get that reference, try it! you'll be amazed:)

so now i'm sitting here, listening to the classical radio station on my pandora list, cuddling with a curled up kitty sitting on my lap, and getting ready for a quiet evening and an early bedtime. hope everyone's weekend is going swimmingly!

neglected...

that is, i feel that my sleep has been neglected the past few days. for some reason this past week felt as long as two weeks put together, and for many random reasons, i slept like crap most of it!

tuesday night is when i found myself having anxiety attacks as i laid there trying to sleep. wednesday was about the same. thursday, after having a late class and not getting to bed til later than normal, the crazy confused birds that like to perch outside my window decided that 2a.m. was the best time to chirp! i don't know what's wrong with these birds...maybe they're blind, maybe they have mental disabilities, but someone should inform them that 2a.m. still constitutes as nighttime!

so this weekend is about rest. rest, laziness, sleep, and perhaps getting a bit of homework done. hope everyone else's week wasn't a bust!

later,
