So today was a good day (despite last minute lesson plans). Actually, I excel at last minute lesson plans. LOL. But I am actually developing quite a good system of planning my lessons. I hope it works out. (I plan on planning the next weeks lesson after the end of the current week`s lesson, so I have what we just covered fresh in my mind and what I want to review, reinforce, and continue still in my mind as well.)
I also came up with some good ideas to experiment with my kids classes. They are all good kids, but some classes are more difficult to control than others. Funny thing is, the classes with the brighter students are often the ones that are difficult to control. Then there are the classes that are just difficult to communicate to. Well, hopefully though more trial and less error, I will find a good solution.
I also have some working ideas on how I want to re-arrange my classroom. Hopefully things work out. Anywho, so far I am still excited about teaching, but then again, it`s only my second first day (two more first day`s to go!). I`ve also found that the classes that have more adult males in them are far more interested in learning about Texas than other classes. (and I really enjoy teaching about Texas!) I taught one class today about the joy`s of rodeo! Hehehe. It`s fun to teach things like that. :-D
On the down side of things, today was cold and I forgot to eat.

How do you forget to eat?
Quite easily actually. My medication makes me not hungry, so when I am busy, then I often forget to eat. This is esp true if I didn`t eat breakfast. Either that, or it`s too much trouble to fix something to eat. And strangely enough, I am still overweight... LOL. But thanks to Japan, I have to walk everywhere, and I have been using more fresh fruit and veggies and less red meat, so I am actually loosing weight. :-D
