Today's forecast was a partly cloudy with a chance of thunderstorms. My mood kind-of matched the weather. I've felt pretty mellow all day, but if you rub me the wrong way, you might catch a storm.

I think it is because I have to go to a teacher workshop Monday through Wednesday this week. I feel like a little kid whose pitching a fit and yelling, "I don't wanna go!" I know I've had a few weeks off, but I am still just not ready to think about the reality of teaching yet.

So off I go tomorrow, but I will mostly only be there in body, not in spirit.

I like the composition of the second shot busybee36 · 2008-07-13: 23:50

i think if they are gonn call it a workshop, then they should spend half the time doing a little shopping! sunshineand · 2008-07-14: 00:15
