Cold Souls...

Today was a completely crappy rainy day that had no inspirational qualities whatsoever. I did not have any time or motivation to get work done and I didn't do anything last night or this morning for class. I feel completely unprepared for the day and am wondering why I go at it sometimes. I didn't read any of my readings, I didn't finish my theory work, and I only feel so-so on my lesson plan for teaching the kindergarten class.

Maybe it is the weather but I feel totally hopeless. I wish things would be better...

later: I don't know why I worried so much -- everything turned out fine. I still was able to actively discuss everything in each of classes (despite not reading the lecture materials) and my kindergarten class went so well. I gave all of the kids spanish names and I taught them how to count numbers 1-10 by playing them a song on my ukulele. The kids kept coming up to me every minute or so to ask me what their name was again in Spanish. It was at that moment that I realized that none of them could read the name that I gave them on their name tags. Another funny note was that all of the kids were unsure of whether I was a boy or a girl (the long hair).

Also: Caitlin and I went to see the movie Cold Souls with Clare and it was really good (I recommend seeing it either in the theater or on home rental).
