I woke up a little later than I would have liked to this morning, and it was just one of those mornings.  I forgot my school nametag and watch; it was like a Monday, only it was Tuesday.  We only had one class period and it was the very first one of the day.  We watched Last of the Mohicans which is about the French and Indian War.  I think some of the students were confused since the Americans were allied with the British, and they couldn’t figure out who was wearing the red coats.  It’s the little things of the American culture that you take for granted.  I spent the rest of the school day helping grade stuff and do other outside of class teacher duties.  After school, I went for a run.  During this run I encountered a chicken free on the loose near the street.  I really wanted that chicken to cross the road, just so I could ask him the classic question of why the chicken crossed the road.  I have faith that I will have the opportunity someday.  I spent the rest of the afternoon finishing up my book while enjoying the cool breeze outside.  We had fried chicken (I feel like I had a chickeney day) and two types of picadillo.  When my mom was teaching me how to cook, she always told me to include something green on the plate.  My favorite green thing to find on my plate is avocados, which we also had.  Overall, it was a pretty good day.
