. . . Do you ever wake up with a feeling of dread sitting in the pit of your stomach, but you can't quite place why? Well, that was me this morning . . .
. . . ESL class last night was a bit of a mess, but that was entirely my fault. I couldn't really concentrate very well, and my transitions between topics were really clunky. We worked on irregular past tense verbs much longer than we should have, so we did not get to do an entire chapter that I meant to cover. Attendance has not dropped off, though, which is a good sign. Maybe people just come for the free chocolates . . .
. . . Choir practice tonight, but nothing scheduled for tomorrow night. Yay! I may actually get to start reading one of the books on my stack, or fall asleep by 9 PM - either option would be good with me . . .
. . . Hope to take some pictures this weekend using my Holga camera. It's a "toy" medium format, B&W film camera . . . it only costs $20 and is notorious for its light leaks, but I can't wait to finally try it. Loading the camera is quite challenging though - the film doesn't have a case, per se, and you have to manually spool the film into the camera. We'll see how it goes. If it does work, then I have to figure out how to get the film developed . . . maybe I can pay a photography student to do my negatives for me? . . .
. . . Spring brings thoughts of gardening. I have no garden, but I'm hoping this year we can do a container garden on the balcony, or at least do some hanging plants or something . . . our balcony is so bare . . .
. . . Did I tell you how much I hate meetings? Argggh. I have quite a few today, which means not much will get done that needs to get done . . .
. . . Today is the Ides of March. I almost forgot. Does my feeling of dread mean that some Caesar-esque calamity is about to befall me? Oy, that's just what I need now . . .
. . . Despite my many grumblings, things are going pretty well. I am still having to do way too much stuff, but promise of Spring and the sunny day today are lifting my spirits a little. I hope I can keep the optimism going . . .

Good to see I was not the only one who remembered it was the ides of March. Nothing too disastrous happened though.
This DC weather is bringing me down, I was all happy about the spring and now winter seems to have come back...(running with hands in the air) I can't take it anymore!!
