Exhaustion, Resolution, Humor
When a bunch of bloggers wrote that they’d like a few more days (or weeks) of vacation, we all smiled. Heard the same thing at school on Monday. But, ladies and gentlemen, when I stayed a bit late Monday, grabbed some food from a diner, got home, read e-mail, yawn, and fell asleep before 7PM… My body is still demanding a return to last week’s schedule.
This year I resolved to make specific New Year’s resolutions, ones I could keep. And I am most of the way there. #1 was to give away my car. Done. I will be receiving a replacement (moving up from an 88 to a 99) in a week or two. #2 was to deal with my hair, in two stages. Stage 1 is now complete (a four plus hour ordeal; the Senegalese woman only thought it would take two…)
Here’s a funny starting the New Year math teaching post from Texas, and here’s a funny before the New Year little kid teaching post from New York.

Okay, now you’ve got me curious. What exactly do you mean by “deal with [your] hair?”
4 hours???? I’m curious too!
It’s sort of long, and I will get it cut quite short. After the braids lock up, in a month or two.
