A True Teacher Life. It's Begun

Hey all!

Last Thursday was when we celebrated two birthdays, Nolan and Jessica’s, and we went to a bar called Typhoon for Jessica’s birthday and then people went out to party in a tent in the middle of the desert for Nolan. I had no interest in going to Nolan’s party since it was so late but from what I’ve heard, it was pretty fun. Many people stayed out until 2 or 3 am but others were even still there. Like I said, not really my thing. I was ready for bed when they were leaving to go out haha. Anyways, since I didn’t go out, I got to have a completely lazy day all day Friday. I slept in a little bit and then got up only to stay on my couch all day and watch Netflix. It was pretty awesome. I made some food and drank cappuccino all day and had a few friends come visit for this or that reason but just stayed in with the cat all day. It was beautiful. 

Saturday morning was spent at a restaurant nearby called Rick’s where they sell all-American food and I got some BBQ pulled pork which is hard to come by here because it’s BBQ and because it’s pork. Other than that, I just worked on stuff for school and went to jiu jitsu. Since Sunday, I haven’t had too much going on. Just the usual working and getting things ready for classes. When I went to jiu jitsu on Monday, though, it was quite different than usual. Jess, the friend who got me started in jiu jitsu to begin with, was sick and could not come to class and I almost didn’t go. Since she and I usually partner together, I had to practice with a guy in the class whom I’ve never met or seen. He was much bigger than me, which is hard to deal with in jiu jitsu, and he had a lot more experience than me. It was awesome though because he really helped me break things down step by step and get it right and would offer advice and suggestions to help. But we also did a lot more conditioning in this class compared to normal because there is a competition this Saturday for those who want to compete. So, I almost threw up at a practice which is not something I’ve ever even been close to before. So now I hate Jess. But she knows so it’s okay.

Since then, I’ve just gotten stuff done for school and gone to jiu jitsu again. At school there is a class that is under my scrutiny because a few people cheated and now they’re freaking out about it. However, I think after two days of letting them sweat about their grades, I’ll give them the points they want because they are currently terrified of me. I’m also having kids sign a contract with me where I will give them the points they want to pass this semester but if they don’t get, say a B next quarter (it depends on the kid), I can take away twice as many points as I give them. There’s not been much going on but I will talk to you all later!
