…More on the bitter side. *sigh*

Wasil left again today…And while I wanted my own space back to being my own space…It ached beyond aching.
I don’t recall crying when I came home from Spring Break last year…& I don’t recall crying when he left last July…I really don’t remember much about July’s visit.
I tried to be strong, but it just ached so much, and I couldn’t keep the tears away.
He left early this morning…I was still in bed. He was at the door, telling me he loved me, and I was trying to say it back, buy the words caught in my throat and my voice broke. He came back over to try and make things better again.
I didn’t sleep well…I tried to give up, put my glasses on, but did manage to doze back off. I did that a few times. One of these days I’m going to break my glasses. Then again, I do need to replace them eventually…They are a couple prescriptions behind.
I’m still aching with missing him.
So yeah…I guess this means this visit went much better than the last couple. *small smile*

Monday & Tuesday EVERYWHERE (or pretty much) had weather days…Too cold to venture out. Heck, Grand Valley was even closed!

I started my teaching assisting Wednesday. I was there Wednesday & Thursday.
There are 24 kindergartners in the classroom I’m in. Thus far it’s been pretty good.
There are 4 or 5 that might be considered on the ‘troubled’ side…But the teacher has a good handle on things, which is good. The two days were a bit chaotic in compression to usual, as coming back from break and having two weather days, but even then, I don’t think it was really overly chaotic.

My TA schedule is going to be Monday-Wednesday 8-12:30 & Thursday 8-2:30 & have Friday off.
I have Reading: Assessment & Instruction on Tuesday 6-8:50…Right now we are scheduled to have our seminar that goes with TA on Wednesday 4-5:50 (which she actually changed to 4:30-5:50 at class Wednesday)…We are hoping to get to switch it around and have it on Tuesdays too…It all depends on what Professor Kurt does with his class that is scheduled for Tuesdays at 4 (it has a whole 2 students…So if he does it so we can take that time slot, then I’ll only have to drive to TC once a week).
The hybrid class meets twice…Which the first time will be Saturday @ 6-8:50. Blah. Hate late night classes, especially on a Saturday and messing up my whole schedule.
That class is my Technology in Education class…Then I have Organizing & Managing Classroom Environments as a completely online class. Bleck. I hate online classes.

I got 5 or 6 hugs Wednesday. One of them was in the middle of the time I was there. The one girl just hugged me out of nowhere. Then I was getting ready to go for the day, and the kids were lined up to go to lunch, and the first one in line hugged me, then the second one, and they kept coming! *laughs*

I have homework to do…My books came today, so I’ll be doing some reading over the week-end.

The advisor comes in to observe me 4 times while I’m teaching assisting. I have to do 2 lessons. Thankfully, Calendar counts as one lesson, which I will be doing probably starting next week, or the week after. So, by the time she comes to observe my first lesson, I should be okay with it.
Something happened Thursday when I was there, and the teacher

had me read the math problem to the students while she took care of it. They are quick little things. I had to read a word problem, and it asked for the answer at the end of it, and some of them were calling out the answer after I only read it once. So yeah, smart bunch of little ones.

I’m so tired…Sleep will probably be soon, or at least dozing a bit.
Part of me wants to crawl off to my room…Part of me wants to drag my blankies out here and crash per usual.

I need to do some work on week #2 for my 52 Weeks of Writing.
Wasil asked me this morning, before he left, what I was going to be doing now, since I wasn’t doing my 365 Days of Art…It was nice to have him ask. *smiles*

Uh…Yeah…Brain is so scattered…Think this shall be it for this entry.
