Motivational Deficiencies

At first, when it was official that the elementary would close for Thursday and Friday, they said that the teachers would come in and work while the students stayed home. Then when the announcement was made to us at our faculty meeting after school, our director said that they had talked about it some more and had decided that they wanted us to stay home and rest.

I'm good at following directions.

Haha... Actually, I've slept so much in the last three days, and I've basically been lazy even when I wasn't sleeping.

I can't really tell if I'm just a bum or if I have really needed the rest. I've had a headache that has felt a little more like pressure than a headache off and on for the past few days. I'm thinking it's very possible that my body is feeling tempted to give me sinus problems, and so I'm more tired than usual. Or maybe I'm just lazy.

I went on today's grocery trip to the mall this morning. That's always a little bit of a longer trip so that people have time to shop in the grocery store in the mall along with the store that is exactly like Sam's Club across the street. I've never felt the need to shop in bulk for just one person - so I don't go there, and that leaves me with time to shop and/or eat in the food court. Today I bought trendy sandals that I can teach in, and then I tried Church's Chicken. The verdict? Ehh. It was only alright. While I was excited to see crinkle-cut french fries, from now on when there is a Church's on my left and a Popeye's on my right - I will choose Popeye's every single time.

So there you go. That's what I'm doing in Honduras right now. So much for ministry. Instead, I am sleeping a lot and solving great chicken debates.

Of course, I could have used these last few days to be a super-teacher. I could have graded every single paper in my classroom and planned lessons for weeks to come. I could have planned lessons for weeks to come. I could have rearranged and reorganized my entire classroom.

But I didn't... I haven't even walked up there yet. I still might go today. Maybe...
