So here I am...

Writing on my blog instead of on my paper...the questions are in my lap and the document is open on the laptop, does that count? Procrastination how I love thee...let me count the ways! So giving up fried food for Lent hasn't been hard except when going to Mexican restaurants or burger night, which happens often with my friends. Ordered a salad last week at burger night, not bad- just had another beer to take my mind off the sweet potato fries. Same with margaritas at Senor's when the chips keep being refilled. Other than that I've been doing great...now that I have updated you I really must write more of my paper. *Jeremy just caught me procrastinating, so I really MUST go.* oops!

The Videotaping Saga Continues

So I finally videotaped my kiddos again on friday, was all ready to take stuff home. Packed up the laptop, papers, record sheets, the power pack to the video camera- grabbed all my crap and was ready to make like a baby and head out. Because of the crappiness of the weather, I was a little overloaded with coat and whatnot, driving home feeling great about the video then I realize...left the video camera at school with the tape in it, have the power pack-no camera-no tape. There goes lots of planning to be productive right out the window seeing as there was nothing for me to work on except picking my 15 mins. of video and writing about it. Great Job Jessie! So I lug the crap back to school today minus the camera of course...can't find a single stinkin' moment today to watch the video or edit grammatical stuff Rebecca and Missy found. So here I am at home with all the crap again, yes I lugged it all home tonite, yes I remembered the camera. I have since getting home around 4:30 edited the first 7 pages of the 11 page paper, eating three cookies-some trail mix, watched toddlers & tiaras, watched part of days, (not in that order-there was multitasking involved of course) and I am now blogging rather than watching the stinkin' camera I forgot and have now lugged home. So alas, I must go eat some dinner and try to find my 15 mins. of video-fame-whatever...lol. Oh yeah, and don't get blown away by the crazy frickin' wind, I of course won't with all the crap I am lugging to and from school these days!

Videotaping Take Two

So, videotaping before was successful however...I need more conversating among my students apparently. Which I agree somewhat, and I know I should video again but I really don't want to! Oh well...will be videotaping again this week probably otherwise I risk my students being crazy after spring break. So wish me luck with the conversating...they talk all the time the rest of the day...

And yes I said spring break...t-minus 4 days and counting. I LOVE SPRING BREAK! Hopefully it will be nice weather, so I can be out in the yard doing stuff and being productive. NO traveling that I know of other than probably to Edmond, which I love cause I love my fam.

videotaping take one

So I videoed again in my classroom...take number one...haven't watched the whole thing seriously to see if it is worthy. Seems from the discussions I had with the kiddos and from what Natalie said that it is a keeper. I hope so then it's on to writing the paper once again. I'll let you know if the video made the cut and I'm onto the paper part. Sorry to be so boring this entry...I'll try better next time.
