Hmm, not much to report on for today.

I was exhausted from going to the gym last night, so I snoozed my alarm till 06:30 this morning.

Class went ok-ish. I even managed to get my fourth grade boys to practice their English writing, SB included. He seems like he’s doing better now, we’ll see how long his good behavior lasts for. In my experience, it’s usually not for long.

I didn’t have my double lesson with my sixth graders in the afternoon because of a fire drill. I really wish the school wouldn’t keep the foreign teachers ‘on call’ so to speak when they know full well that most school events always last for the allotted two periods they book them for and they won’t actually need us to teach our lessons. I just hate the pretense of being kept on a figurative hook for no reason except to keep up appearances. This is exactly why I feel like my work is losing its meaning at my current school.

Anyway, I got a bit done at work and decided to exercise again tonight. But it didn’t go well at all. I’m running out of KT tape, which cost me a small fortune to buy in the first place. And the KT tape I used on my arches didn’t even stop me from having pain during my workout. Plus, I’m still exhausted from last night, so it made for an extremely mediocre attempt at exercise.

So I finished my workout early, rode an exercise bike and then called it a night.

Now I’m having a violent coughing fit because I ate a chocolate biscuit, which disagrees with my acid reflux issues.

I’m so sick of this crap in all honesty.

I make one big mistake or several little mistakes and it affects my entire life, including my diet. I can’t eat well, I can’t sleep well without waking up to a violent coughing fit.

As you can tell, I’m just over this day. And it wasn’t even that bad; just annoying at all the wrong times.

I thought of X a few times throughout the day. I’m noticing a pattern with that: I tend to think of her the most when my self-esteem is low. I’m even fretting about my idea to organize a Christmas lunch or dinner for me and my foreign colleagues next month. A great idea in theory, but hard to execute in reality.

I just wish that one thing would go my way.

It feels like everything is a giant slog these days, even just being motivated enough in the mornings to go to work.

I think I need some sleep. Sleeping always cheers me up when I’m feeling flat and uninspired.
