Back at work~

[candyland]

So this morning I woke up feeling really awesome. I thought to myself, "Ah, that was a great sleep. I feel awesome! Great start to coming back to work!" And I stretched my arms over my head and rolled over...

And stared.

Teachers are supposed to be at school at a quarter to eight.

My clock read eight-oh-five.

...panicpanicpanicmustfindphoneandcallinohcrapthisisnotgoodaaaaaaaaah!!

I called the secretary and told her I was going to be late and rushed to get ready. I walked into my classroom at a quarter to nine on the nose. Forty minutes to shower, fix my hair, get dressed, gather my things, and drive to school *thumbs up*

I need to leave for the middle school a little early today so I can first stop at the post office, and then get there and look through the library for some music. We have ten rehearsals until the holiday concert, and I have one song picked for them. Need at least two, preferably three. Stuff we can learn in a hurry *headdesks*

After school I'm going to take a quick drive over to the bank and make a deposit. While I was home this weekend I closed out my accounts at my old bank, so I have the money from that and then I got gas money from the school (finally!)--and then Friday is payday, which is awesome. So this week I need to pay rent and get that first student loan payment in the mail.

My goals for this week: finish fanfic100 story and the fic for either 30_ways OR 30_friends (at least), wrap presents, write cards, get those suckers in the mail. It's a month until Christmas. Better get a move on those.

...I'm hungry *goes back to work*


New on candyfics: A Meeting of Traditions for Avatar: The Last Airbender. I just couldn't help myself v_v

ETA: So I was looking through the music library here at the high school, and I found one of my favorite Christmas pieces, "Il Est Ne, Le Divin Enfant" in two parts. And I played through it--the parts are not hard. And so I got to thinking that I could have them do the verses in English and just do the chorus in French :D Bet I get complaints about it, but I don't care! \o/

XD I'm not sure if I've sung in French before. Italian sure, Latin definetly, South African at one point, but not French.

*absolutely loved singing The Prayer in Italian*

Oh my god, I adore your icon ♥

I've sung in Latin, Italian, German, French, Swahili, Aborigine, Zulu, Russian...maybe a couple of others. Can't remember ^^;; French is weird on the pronunciation when one is used to English, but once you get it, it's not too hard :)

I've done that one! I loves it! *glomps*

En Hiver. I remember singing that song. I really need to see if I can find a copy of it, as I remember it was really beautiful.
Best of Luck there Candy-chan.

No wonder you slept so well. You could start doing like I do and set a second alarm clock to go off a little while after the main one. And that one is set away from from you so you have to get out of bed to turn it off.

Yup--felt great, though! And then last night I set my cell phone alarm on my dresser on the other side of the room, just to make sure. Turned out that I didn't need it ^_~

Well, better safe than sorry. I have my radio go off and then my alarm 15 min. later. I need it these days.

Yikes. Realizing you've overslept for something important is a very bad thing! It happened to me just last week. The alarm clock was supposed to ring at the top of the hour, and it didn't ring till fifty minutes later. @__@; I was just lucky that they were cleaning the carpets at the church, so there wasn't children's choir practice that day.

Good luck with the rehearsals! We don't have much time until our program either, and I sure hope the kids (and I!) will remember everything. XD;

There are worse things to oversleep for than work, and this was the first time it had happened to me. The way the secretary responded to my panicked call, I'm guessing that I'm not the first person this has happened to, nor is it a big deal as long as I'm there in time for my class, so that was cool ^_^

Thanks! :D
