Feeling such a desire to procrastinate...
Man, there's nothing like physical illness to really set back any work momentum. One thing that is weird about this whole miscarriage business is that there really isn't any outward appearance of sickness -- I'm sick, but I'm not hobbling, nor am I coughing/sneezing my germs everywhere. It's just a secret internal injury. Gives me more appreciation for all those martial arts stories featuring internal injuries!
Last week was very discombobulated, because I missed 2 days of school, and was only at school for 3 days. In addition, the second half of the week also had lots of socialization -- friends old and new from out of town.
I think I lost 4 pounds last week, between the blood loss and general lack of appetite.
This week I'm finally feeling mostly myself, but it's also a weird week because next week is Spring Break, so school has that pre-Spring Break vibe. Plus Jono is working super-hard on his comic this week, which makes me really want to work on mine instead of working on school stuff.
In fact, there are only 2 more days of school! AAAAAH! Then I'm leaving for New York/Connecticut/Boston and a big Chinese Language Conference there.
So, To-Do List, to get me motivated again:
Tomorrow:
-Full day's work! Day 9s are the worst. :(
- Tell students that I'm abandoning them again. :(
- Polish up Faculty Council moodle stuff.
Thursday:
-Morning: Make and distribute sub lesson plans for Monday and Tuesday after break.
- Afternoon/Evening: work on Mandarin 1 textbook -- make a good display sample.
-Evening: edit Chinese translation of China comic
Friday:
-Write short bio and email final China Comic edits to Shanghai newspaper
-Do Chinese School quarter-end payroll stuff, also write check for SIL
-Print handouts for NCLC presentation
-Do Laundry, take shower
- Do some more polish on Studio Xia website -- maybe add a section for Mandarin 1 textbook?
- Probably help Jono with some inking and scanning...
-Pack (remember fancy clothes! Remember grading! Remember camera!)
During next week:
- Grade essays
- Grade tests
- Work on NCLC presentation, put in DropBox as NCLC presentation
- Make Notability file of review for Mand students
