I have had a mostly nice day. I felt a bit moody a while ago when Mara was here as we weren't seeing eye to eye about some things, but we got over it, well really she did the shit down move and didn't want to talk about it anymore and I was OK with that as she does have that right.
I am really enjoying my classes so far. I think my students are really into it and enjoying the class thus far. I sort of feel like I still don't know what I am doing a little bit but I think over the next week I will be able to pull it together after I have done the readings I assigned. The first paper they write is narration and I taught that last semester to my ESL students. I'm focusing on some different parts of grammar than everyone else but I am also doing what I feel is right from my own past teaching experiences.
I didn't walk or work out today but it was super cold and my arms were a bit sore today, so maybe I needed a day of rest. I worked on a new poem, but I'm not that happy with it seems a but on the flat side. I sent it off for workshop but hopefully I will be able to polish it over the next few days. Really it feels good to just be writing today and that is sort of what I want to focus on for the moment.
I went to the Vagabond today for a little bit and when I left I, for the first time, noticed how badly I smelled of smoke when I left and what an icky smell it was. I think that is great! Although I did sort of want to smoke after I left there I think I am doing much better and am feeling stronger everyday about my choice to be a nonsmoker.
