... but I went out to see a show, and in the intermission I went to the ladies' to pee. And I didn't notice untill I was already peeing that the toilet was opposite a very tall window with no curtains. There I was, looking through the window into the building on the other side of the street, about 15 feet away. On top of that, the toilet was placed ridiculously far from the toilet paper, so I had to reach so far for it that I almost fell off... At least the building opposite me didn't seem to have any human life inside.
But who knows?
Some old pervert could've been watching from one of the windows!
Anyway, I'm gonna go quit my job as a substitute teacher, much to my regret, but there's no other way for me to write the paper I need to get started on in connection with my course on teaching composition.
I've been away for the weekend to visit my in laws and it was great fun. I have two brothers and a sister in law, so it's a big family compared to what I'm used to. I spent a great deal of the time tickling my boyfriends syblings and wrestling with them.

How about a four year hangover?
We just reelected the old government, and it's the bad guys!
*SIGH*
Now we're stuck with them for another four years!
At least the kids at school were allright today:
I can actually make 8th grade sit still! I just wrote some multiplication problems on the board, and it turned out that they couldn't multiply simple numbers! In 8th grade!
I think they realised that they need to know, and fast, and that that was why they actually shup up and did as they were told (pretty much).
Teaching P.E. in kindergarden (5&6year olds) went ok, apart from the fact that I still don't have the routine in comforting them, when they start crying (every five minutes)... I tried teaching them some judo, but they weren't very good at it. At least I got smarter at that age group.
The 9th graders were an absolute nightmare. Some of them didn't even make a name tag (within 45 mins). Brats. I hope I gained some respect by being grumpy *sigh*.
Hate being grumpy.
I should've seen my dad today, but he changed our dinner date to a lunch date, and I was at work at lunchtime.... I didn't even have time to call him and pass on the offer.
The 8th graders need a new math teacher, so I offered to take them. This is a big responsibility, as they have to take O-levels in the summer of 2009. The school will try to find someone who's actually educated to teach maths, but if they don't I might get it! I need to think two years ahead before I accept this position.... my man and I might be going away in spring 2009 as a part of his PhD, but that's still to be planned.

Election time
I'm truly exited about today's election in Denmark. We might be getting a new, red government (if we're lucky).
Still my life goes on, I enjoy my three jobs
1. conducting my amateur choir
2. singing at church
3. being a substitute teacher
And still, I haven't been studying enough, and it is just about to come back and hit me in the face, hard.
I just put a lot of nice music on my iPod, so I'll be tapping my foot to Prince, MJ, Erykah Badu, Depeche Mode and the Beatles while trying to study.

Election and what I'm up to
We have an election for the Danish parliament coming up in 11 days, and it's quite exiting, since the good (red) guys and the bad (blue) guys are coming out quite even in the polls (is that the way to put it?).
The politicians seem to have an ongoing competition to say the following most times a day: "this election will purify the atmosphere". I just hope it doesn't end up with being the blue guys in control, as it has been for the previous six years.
Anyway, enough about politics.
I had a bad case of diarrhoea this wednesday, and even though I didn't have it yesterday at all I spent the whole day recovering. But now I'm back in shape, I started the day with my swimming lesson. I wasn't very good at what we were supposed to learn, but at least the coach called me sweetie, so that made my day...
My boyfriend is still great. He doesn't do as much boy scout stuff as he has been doing a month ago, and I stopped singing in a choir on thursdays, so we get to see eachother a lot, which is nice.
A few weeks ago I tried to persuade him to move out of the dorm with me, but without luck. He pointed out that my being fed up with the dorm was just a symbol of me being fed up with my poor studying skills, and he was right. I don't really get anything done these days. Time flies by without me noticing... but at least I don't waste all my time on the internet anymore. I don't have internet in my room anymore, couldn't manage it....
