It's all quiet in the library, just the way I like it.
The weather got marginally better this afternoon so i ended up playing tennis after all! I actually interspersed it with badminton, so that was fun! However, because I thought it wouldn't be fine I went to the gym at lunchtime and took part in the Aerobics. It's fun, but I don't like the students who aren't participating watching me! Evil! Tomorrow I am going to help with the "running club" by walking with the stragglers. That should be good. Also I want to compare my ability on the treadmill with my ability outside! Probably won't be as good, but still!
On the way home I stopped at Spotlight. I saw sooo many things that I wanted for my house. Little things but I still want them, like, more tea towels, bathmats, more sheets, a knife and block set. I think we need cutting boards too, but I didn't see any. I want a wooden one. They also had TV trays, you know, those trays which have like a little bean-bag underneath. Only $6 each!
I was going there to buy material to make some smallish banners on. I want one for Saturday, DRAGONBOATING FESTIVAL!!! (I also know that I have agreed to meet people for Greek Food and then later on engagement party. I'll need to find out when we race). I actually want one more to drag along to the sports I seem to be supporting. After last Friday I (and the other teachers I dragged along) have had students making sure that we are going to watch Volleyball again. Mad. I also want to take it along to "my" touch games. It kinda makes me sad how the other schools nearly always have more supporters than us, even when it's a "home game"! I talked to another teacher about it and tomorrow when I have a "free" I'll be invading his room with the material. I need to talk to the art teacher about some paint...hmmm.
In order to make them proper banners I'm going to get some bamboo from my parents' and I need to hem the edges tonight to make sleeves for the bamboo. Shouldn't take me too long to do that, but I don't forsee and early night tonight either. Boo!

Posted by: Chelle at March 4, 2005 06:03 AMYou know, when you have a housewarming party, people can buy you house things :). Spotlight always makes me want the things I don't have yet. Good on you for doing aerobics! and tennis... and badminton... and running club... and so forth. Impressive :).
