be a better teacher
I guess we are busy! 3 months ago

So I look here for the latest entry, AND ITS NOT EVEN THIS MONTHS! LOL. Thats because teachers are busy.

I am trying to be a better teacher. I need to look up stuff for my kids to do, hands on activities, so they do not get bored with the science. I teach HS biology and physical science. They want all students to be writing proficient (all kids, ELL and Special Ed) and be ready for state testing. So that means I run out of time to do the hands on fun stuff.

So hard to plan a lab to do in 1 period as well. So this is why I need to be a better teacher. To teach my kids science, and maybe to get them to love science, while still preparing them for the state TESTS!

Yucky state test!


lose weight (read all 2 entries…)
2nd week 3 months ago

Well my 2nd week at the gym is done. I have for 2 weeks, gotten up at 4:40am, worked out, then went to work. I work out 6 days a week.

My goal is to lose weight, of course, but also NOT TO GAIN WEIGHT! Well I weighed myself today and while I did not lose any weight, I did not gain any weight either, so thats good.

I really need to work on my 2nd goal of eating better. That way I can lose weight. I plan to follow a diabetic diet. I EVEN bought a book (please do not roll your eyes here). It has been shown that people who have fat around their midsection can develop type 2 diabetes. It has to do with the body becoming resistance to its own insulin. And since diabetes pretty much can wreck a person up (If they don not take care of themselves) then I think a little preventative maintenance would be good!

I am also planning on taking up yoga in addition to working out. Its called Birkum ( <—Totally misspelled) yoga. I call it sweaty yoga because you work out in a steamy/heated room.

So hopefully I will have some weight loss on week 3!


Buy my first home
Housing Pricings still STINK 4 months ago

So I live in SoCal and the housing prices are around 500,000 for houses that have too many problems. I know I’m being picky BUT I don’t want to spend half a million (more with interest and fees)for a house that I would then need to take out a loan to repair or update.

So, essentially, I have not made any progress with this goal.
