You know how when you eat a lot the night before, you wake up feeling like a walrus who rubs its belly, telling it that it's okay? Yeah that was me at 3:30 this morning. I've been up for an hour and a half doing nothing.
I crashed early last night. It could be the fact that I was coming down from my sugar high (for some god-forsaken reason I bought watermelon flavoured jube-jubes at the gas station and ate them all before I reached my front door step) or it could be the fact that my students really just took a toll on me. I'm banking it on being 30-70.
So we got some horrible news at school today. One student's father suddenly passed away at the start of the holidays. Another student woke up on New Year's Day unable to move her legs. We don't know what the outcome of that will be but I'm focusing on the possibility that she will regain full feeling back. She's the cutest little girl that you've ever seen in your life. There is no way that she will not walk again. I don't care if that's one of the options in her multiple choice question. I choose C.
Today is the day of the Epiphany. I find it fitting since I've come up with some epiphanies myself.
My school is cursed.
I need a gym membership.
It's possible to miss someone you've never met.
Some of my friends continue to be disappointments. As much as I still love them.
No matter what time you wake up, you will be hungry within the hour. Right now I'm ravenous.
It's 5:13am. I should probably work out seeing as how my attempts last night were futile.
As much as I hate it, I can't help the students who don't want to be helped.
The Biggest Loser premiers tonight ... I have a girl crush on Jillian Michaels.
It's too late (or too early) to get some more shut eye, isn't it?
As you can see, I'm full of revelations.

Aww.. I hope it's only temporary/curable whatever that girl has.
I've been up since 5am and I don't know what to do with myself. I know I should probably work out too but I just can't make myself do it. :/
Oh, so sorry to hear the news of your students.
I hate that walrus feeling... I have it too. Stupid me.
And I share your opinions on a lot of the rest of that list, too.
I love jujubees. I learned on a date once how to find the black ones in a movie theater.
I hope it all works out with the student - that's pretty sad.
The missing someone you've never met thing, very possible - happens to me every day.
"Some of my friends continue to be disappointments. As much as I still love them." - should you ever tell them this? or should you just accept them as dissappointing as they are? this is my dilemma of the week.
Tonight is the Biggest Loser premier? Really? And it's my husband's birthday? Didn't realize today would be so monumental!
Also, I never knew you missed me. That's really sweet! =)
LOL!
I think I know where that "miss someone you've never met" comes from. I'm scratching my head on that one too!
Would they complete you when you meet, or just annoy?
I'm sorry to hear about your students...that sucks.
And I've learned that I can't help anyone who doesnt' want to be helped. And I hate it as well, but it's something that I've had to learn the hard way too many times. Blech.
5:13 is an EXCELLENT time for random revelations. And I'm sorry but yes, your school probably is cursed. I think that they ALL are!
MyLanta can I relate. I couldn't get a good nights sleep for the life of me on Sunday night. My kids were good in class but I will still exhausted by the end of the day. We had a similar situation to start the new year with at my school - one of our students passed away, lost his battle with cancer so it was a bit somber at school as well.
As for your apostrophes, er I mean epiphanies, I have been full of them too and can relate to ALL of yours. Peas in a pod I tell you.
It's possible to miss someone you've never met.
Absolutely.
Wait till you see what I've been eating all these weeks when I wasn't posting on my blog! Gobs and gobs and gobs of calories!!
Hope your kid regains her leg functions and I'm just so sorry for the other kid :-(
It's possible to miss someone you've never met - Absolutely, especially if you're used to communicating with them often.
As for friends being disappointments, I'd make that people. Yeah, I'm in a cynical mood and it's not even 5.13 am.
Well, I just put on a dress that I bought three weeks ago. Then it was loose and baggy....now it's skin tight. That's worse than a walrus, it's sad!
I never miss anyone and it's precisely why I blog. It's also why I eat copious amounts of ice cream. It's my only friend, but it doesn't know it.
I first read 'watermelon flavoured jube' as 'watermelon flavoured lube'
I quickly re-read, only be be slightly disappointed.
I have never had a jube-jube...
How awful about young girl and her legs. And the poor guy that lost his dad. I hate hearing things like that. One of the guys at work just lost his mom. So very sad! :(
