Last night I hit a second (third?) wind around 1 am after reading a really cool fact about seagulls in the ecology textbook I have with me. Then I couldn’t sleep for another two and a half hours.
In the morning I went to reading club and wrote a very short story, then moved to a different cafe to work on lesson plans, then back home to work more. For lunch (which was technically also breakfast) I found another place that serves the incredible pork soup. Later, for dinner (which was technically also lunch) I found the best quesadilla place yet. For post-dinner, I ate more eggs (I’ve been eating a lot of eggs lately, and they’re starting to get pretty boring). In all, I was able to knock out a whole week’s worth of lesson plans for my advanced class, listen to some podcasts, and meditate for a half hour (I’ve been getting back into this recently, and in combination with everything I’ve been reading lately [eg. cool seagull facts], I feel like I have been gaining a lot of insight. I’ll write more when the time feels right). If I can keep up this pace for a couple more days, I should be able to travel next weekend instead of staying home to plan more lessons.
I have been having trouble keeping in touch with a good friend from Madison. This is bothering me. Otherwise, things are good.
