Happy Single Awareness Day!




This year was the first year where I did not go around with my chin down because it is Valentine's Day and I am single. Maybe that sentence was a little ambiguous; I did not go around with my chin down and yes, I am still single!). It was like any other day for a change. I completely forgot it was V-Day until I was at school in the afternoon(I had been at a training all day long). Nice. Usually, I call it "Singles Awareness Day." Basically, if you are single, there is no other day the whole year where you feel as single as you do today. I am glad it wasn't too painful. The only sketchy part of the day was being at the grocery store and being in line with a bazillion people because the store is only competent enough to only have one person working. Of course, all the other people were there because they didn't realize it was Valentine's until they woke up and had to go buy something "special" for somebody who, I am sure, deserved it! It was crazy and made me mad. The other thing that made me mad this morning was the snow on my stairs and the snow on the roads. Basically, it was just the snow. Not my favorite thing right now.

It was nice to have a day away from school today. It is like a mini-vacation even though I am still doing school stuff. I am liking the training because it gives me lots of ideas to use in my classroom right away. Good stuff.

Just a quick note to end on: Don't break up with people on Valentine's Day. It sucks. Don't do it.
