I am definitely a person who likes to "shop ahead" for the holidays. It is mostly due to wanting to catch sales and also to spread the expense out over a period of time so it doesn't just destroy our December budget. It also has to do with not being stressed in the month of December trying to make it all happen when I really don't have time.
This week I am working everyday, but they are all pretty easy days. Yesterday was a half day at the elementary, but it was 45 minutes with nine gifted fifth graders, and then an 80 minute break, then another 45 minutes with nine gifted fourth graders. In other words, pretty darn easy. The rest of this week I am at the high school. Honestly, it is easy money generally speaking. However, in most of the classes all I am really there for is to keep things "legal". There are a few classes where I get to go over some instructions and at times there are opportunities to interact with the kids, but a great deal of the day is just hanging out behind a desk and looking at a computer, or reading, or something like that. I've decided to use these days to begin to get ahead on my Christmas shopping. I have to admit...I'm a little bit excited! I enjoy knowing the holidays are coming up, and I enjoy being productive!
