THe new and improved way to keep busy at the junior high school

I have taken up weeding. I know, that sounds ridiculous. But after weeks and weeks, of finding it impossible to keep my eyes open, due to the boredom of my job. I have decided that finding a way to sit outside in the sun, is the answer to all my struggles. I am not sure if they will let me wear my i-pod yet, but it almost doesn't matter. I might actually be finding the zen-ness of weeding, so it isn't so bad.

I took this up a few days ago, during a cleaning period, where I found I was tired of sweeping (the job I had been assigned to way back in August) tired of scrubbing the floors , (the alternate job that I assigned myself, after I became disenchanted with sweeping) and decided to join some of the students on the lawn (they were hand picking the leaves off the ground.....has anyone in this country heard of a rake?) So now I am in the weeding crowd...and other than the wierd bugs one often sees, it isn't so bad. Clean air, sunshine, physical excercise...I guess that is why i took it up to pass the time between classes. I now don't have to hang out in the teachers' lounge (even though I do enjoy reading, the atmosphere is a total buzzkill). And that is something very happy.
