The 8th Wonder of the World

Friday, Friday, Friday. Thank goodness it is the end of the week because I am exhausted. This weekend is supposed to be kind of gloomy and cloudy and I am almost thankful for that because I just need some time to relax. I also have a lot of work to do for my internship paperwork and documentation. I just need some sleep and relaxation, especially since I have one week left and then a super busy two weeks when Mackenzie gets here.

Today was a pretty nice day. I was up a little early and decided to walk to my second bus stop instead of taking my first bus there. It took me about 30 minutes, but it was nice to not be sitting on my butt the whole morning. I feel like I have been super lazy and I need to start doing more (other then just on weekends). I got to my second bus stop just on time, which means that if I want to walk again next week I need to leave just a bit earlier. School was good today and for being Friday the kids weren't too rowdy. We had our spelling test and then library with Francine. Francine went on and on about god knows what today and I just wanted to get out of there so bad because it was ridiculous. The kids came back and did a reading comprehension test before lunch. I remembered my lunch today so I did not have to go out and pay $10 for a sandwich, thank goodness! I helped out with reading groups after lunch and then we got to watch a clip from glee on youtube. However, it was a clip from the season finale, which has no aired here yet. Australians need to catch up with the air times of shows. It was just a song so it wasn't too bad. The clip was Somewhere Over The Rainbow and now I have an urge to watch the Wizard of Oz! The kids had recess and then we had a big Stage 2 party to celebrate the end of the term and say goodbye to one of the girls moving to Melbourne. The kids were actually very well behaved and there was SOOOO much food. I probably had too much of it though. After the party we had to go outside for the official grand opening of the new sandpit, which the principal likes to refer to as the 8th Wonder of the World. It is a very large sandpit that can pretty much fit 3 entire Kindergarden classes in it. I think it is great, but at the same time the sand gets all over the basketball court and then in all the classrooms when the kids come back in. Don't get me wrong, I love sandpits, but in an elementary school, it might be a bit of a crazy idea.

Tonight is staff night out and as soon as I force myself to get up and clean my room (which may help me not fall asleep) I will head out after. It is pretty close which is nice, but too close that I can't take a bus. I probably won't stay out long because I am absolutely exhausted.
