RIP Earbuds

I fell asleep wearing my earbuds again last night. And yes, I killed them. Only the right earbud works. This pair lasted four months. There seems to be something wrong with me, I need to start buying cheap earbuds or maybe just not fall asleep wearing earbuds.

Last night I woke up about 2 am to the smell of something burning. I quickly got up from bed and started putting on my pants. The smell was strong, so I knew I had to act quickly. But when I got to the kitchen, I didn't see any fire. I opened the door of my apartment and the air smelled fresh. Was I dreaming? Then I hear a loud humming sound coming from inside my apartment. I look back, follow the smell and noise and see that my water dispenser is the cause. I unplug it from the wall and go back to bed. I was up most of the night. I couldn't sleep. So glad I woke up and nothing terrible happened.

I woke up early and headed out for coffee. I had planned to head to school in the afternoon, but decided against it. I am ready for school to start and I am excited about teaching again, but I am not ready to decorate my classroom. Truth be told, I have never been the "decoration" type. Last year, thanks to my amazing mentor and department chair, they helped by providing advice on how to decorate and even gave me stuff to hang. This year, I don't know what to do. I am considered a second year teacher and feel that if I ask for help or suggestions, they might think I am lame. Well, maybe I am for not knowing how to decorate.

I spent the rest of the day reading. Today I had an urge to just read, it didn't matter what it was. I wanted to read. I am feeling anxious about lesson planning. I need to know exactly what we are teaching and what stories so I can spend time organizing my thoughts. Is that weird? Probably. For now, I need to plan a trip to the store and buy me some awesome headphones.
