Daily: Reflect on 5 accomplishments.

Today was my free day, but it turned out to be a workday anyway…

1. went to yoga, first time in a-ges. I still feel very good :-)
2. worked on BB for two of my courses
3. copied (typed) a huge amount of extra grammar exercises for my exchange students
4. phoned my mom
5. phoned long-time-no-see friend MA. She was not there, but at least I phoned her.
6. cooked a healthy meal (pasta and spinach) although my mind still says: have dinner with chocolate cakes
7. went for groceries

I feel good about my day. Am a bit lonely since Love is on a long weekend with friends (girls are not allowed to join), but I worked hard. From this Monday on I will have more classes to teach and today I am trying to prepare myself.

1. productive meeting with colleague
2. class with exchange students went well
3. supplied students with extra excercises
4. arranged BB
5. went for groceries and cooked a healthy meal (although my mind said: eat an unhealthy snack – now!)

1. did not eat any sweets, cookies or snacks (although the craving was there!)
2. went for a walk with my Love after work when the sun was still shining
3. got enough sleep
4. went to work and had a good, productive, working day
5. phoned two members of my book club

1. biked for 45 minutes
2. taught MJ for 2 hours
3. taught my exchange students for 2 hours
4. filled in my cash-book
5. phoned both of my sisters
6. met up with my book club

and, very important:

7. I did not eat any sweets, snacks or other bad food!

1. tax forms mailed out
2. dishes done
3. apartment tidy again
4. met up with BV – friendship quality time
5. met up with MdV – more friendship quality time

1. did a lot of corrections for L today (all but one) and mailed them out
2. taught evening course. all went well but I still think the students are very timid (and I am really friendly, absolutely not a teacher you need to have fear for!)
3. e-mailed the L1 students about their test
4. e-mailed an L2 student about her test
5. e-mailed this evenings students about their test
6. talked to my dad over the phone about a very sad matter (someone close to him passed on) and tried to tell him between the lines that I want him to take good care of himself and that I love him

1. went to work (in the office, no teaching today) and had a relatively productive day
2. created the schedule for the exams and sent it on to my colleague
3. told my employer that I really really need my financial overview for this year – fast since tax forms have to be filled in soon.
4. helped out AdK’s nephew
5. payed some attention to AdK’s cat since her boss is out of the country

1. talked to my dad over the phone
2. had a healthy meal for dinner
3. taught an evening course. students were very very quiet and all seemed tired. not The Best Lesson, but hey, I lived
4. quarreled wit my Love. this is an accomplishment, because I find I have to stand up for myself. He doesn’t have the right to spoil my free night because he is feeling low/bad tempered
5. finished a book: http://www.43things.com/entries/view/2863117
6. went shopping for some very basic clothing (t-shirts etc.). Am happy with at least one thing I bought.

1. went to work: tought two classes and did some administration
2. replied to a few emails
3. had a healthy breakfast and lunch and a roll just before I had to teach my second class
4. got good reviews by the students (they fill in an apparaisal form every now and then)
5. stood up for myeself when someone made a nasty remark

rowing accomplishments only

1. attended day two of the rowing regatta. this time everything went fab! We really rowed a great race.
2. during the race I managed to comfort the crew member in front of me who had a hard time
3. after the rcae, I treated all crew members on coffee and some goodies I bought on the market the previous day
4. bonded with my rowing crew. I’m still relatively new on board so this gave me I good feeling.
5. later that night, helped to carry the boats back to the boat house
