 Didn’t go home for lunch today.

Finished showing the film Breakfast Club to some of my students.  A lot of them liked it.  Some of the students whom I showed part of the film to, went home and watched the whole thing on their own  What appealed to them about it?  It was different, I suppose.  I thought the movie had an unrealistic ending.

 Didn’t get up as early as I would have liked.  And I made my coffee cold.  Not a good way to start the day.

 OMG!  Do you see the Chem Trail?  I am not sure what’s the deal with CTs, so I am not sure what my emotions should be.

Do I look like Charles Manson?  I don’t think so, but to those who do, I’ll get the family after yous.  You bunch of TDS Covidian Trudeau Biden lovers!

 Had lunch.  Ate an apple, blueberries and milk, cup of noodles and a pack of crackers.  Yum yum yum.  Also drank a cup of Joe.

 Monday.  Forecast: cloudy.

I’ve just extended my Duolingo and Hallow streaks: 1548 & 51 respectively.  I’ve also done my daily reading on my iPhone.

Once the morning is done, I will be happy.

 Jesus, it is hard to grade the writing of the students.  It is generally so bad that one does not know where to begin to correct it.

Busy day:  trying to get Tony to improve his economics grade isn’t going to be easy.  He seems baffled by it.

 Went to sleep late so I got up late this Sunday.

I have extended my Duolingo streak to 1547 days.  I want to report that I have extended my Hallow streak to 50 but the App, for some reason (not true faithfulness on my part), won’t acknowledge this.

I need to met or communicate with a Christian.

Yesterday, Tony thought it was amusing to tell me that it was Hitler’s birthday.

We got the car!  So we drove from Whiskers to Jingle Jangles.
