The Chronicles Of Nay

Happy Saturday! I hope that everyone is having a good weekend! The first half of the week was exhausting! I was supposed to be at Pierce’s house in the morning by 6:30. That is so early! I slept in a little Thursday, then I just kinda chilled. I hung out at a different coffee shop because I had a gift card. I am not sold on it, but I did a little school work, I organized my bullet journal, I did some reading. Then I went to class! Then on Friday when I should have been doing all the reading that I had for class, I took a good solid nap! Haha Friday was the first day that felt like summer. I have been going practically non stop since school let out! 

The AVID conference was for sure worth it. I got some great strategies to use in my classroom and I made some connections with some teachers here in Texas that also teach 6th grade and one in South Carolina! It might have been exhausting but I would go to another one, maybe the one in Miami in December? haha

Today while I was taking notes in my bullet journal I did something that I have only done like two other times in my life. I finished a roll of washi tape! It was bitter sweet. I mean yay I finished one but also boo now what am I going to use to make “school work” pages in my journal. It was an aqua chevron pattern. I have an aqua polka dot but that isn’t going to last long either. I have another aqua one with orange diagonal stripes. It is going to be a problem in a few more pages. Don’t worry, anyone that knows me knows that I have the tape to make up for it! I will just have to make a little adjustment! haha  I am also very close to finishing the journal! That is also exciting! 

My hammock situation is still that. A situation! I am pretty confident that I won’t end up on the ground so that isn’t an issue anymore. However, it is still making me a burrito when I get into it. I have tried getting in it different ways, the end result is a Naomi burrito! Then I struggle to get out of it. I am sure it is a sight to see. When I turn to get out I throw my legs out of the hammock and I end up with my knees higher than my chest and the edge is very tight so it hurts my legs and I am swinging it trying to get my feet on the ground. When I do finally get out I stand up and Gabbana is staring at me like what the heck just happened!?!? So I don’t know if it is a hammock situation or a Naomi-doesn’t-know-how-to-work-a-hammock situation. Stay tuned for more updates! I just want to sit in my hammock and read. I even bought a bug torch thing. 

Part of my nap-a-thon day I did some Netflix binging. It was nap, Netflix, nap, Netflix! haha I watched Keep Sweet, Pray and Obey. It is about the fundamentalist LDS church, the whole Warren Jeff’s situation. I had read a book titled Stolen Innocence and the lady that wrote the book was part of this documentary. It was pretty good. I had heard a lot of this information before. I don’t know if it was from the book or if I saw it somewhere online. I started and finished that docuseries. I also started The good witch. It is very Hallmarky! Haha My mom likes this show, I am still in the first season and I just don’t know how I feel about it. What shows are you watching? I will take some suggestions! 

I am thinking of going back toward my flex seating this coming year. If anyone has any chairs that they are getting rid of please let me know. I would love to take it off your hands! I am going to hit up the Welman project to see what they have but for now I am just planting a little seed with the people I know! Haha Speaking of planting a seed, If anyone has any house plants, or pieces of house plants, that they would like to donate to a classroom, I am on a quest to add some plants to my classroom. I briefly read an article that said that plants in the learning environment increase focus and concentration and reduce stress. I will have to make it a job for someone to water them though! Haha I had to start a page in my bullet journal for my “next school year” brain dump! I have so many ideas floating around. Let’s see how many of them come to fruition!

This class thing is going alright. I am enjoying the discussion, hearing from other people that are in similar situations, different situations, and pushing myself slightly out of my comfort zone. I mean, usually on a normal day I don’t think I am the smartest person in the room but I also don’t feel like the dumbest. However, sometimes listening to some of these people in class is super intimidating. Sometimes I feel lost and overwhelmed. I mean yes it is a summer class and it goes a little fast but sometimes I think I have no idea what is going on. 

Well I still have so much left to read I should get back to that. Or maybe I will go dye my hair. I have had a box of hair dye hanging out in the bathroom for a couple weeks. It keeps calling my name everytime I walk in there.
