Toothpaste, etc.
I realized a couple of days ago that I haven't bought any toothpaste since I've been here. And I came with only one tube. This leads me to believe that one or more of several ideas are true.
1. I don't brush my teeth enough.
2. I don't use enough toothpaste. (Is one squirt not enough? Is two too many?)
3. My tube of toothpaste is ENORMOUS.
Ruling out number 3, because I think it's a pretty normal size tube, maybe bigger than some, but still, leaves me with the choice between one and two, or maybe a combination of them both. So I went to the store and bought more toothpaste, not because I needed it, but because it made me feel better, and have now become an active toothbrusher. If I'm standing in my room not doing much, and I catch sight of my toothbrush (which is not so hard because it is out in the open) I'm brushing my teeth. Which really makes me wonder, how much brushing is too much brushing? Because I'm not so much brushing to keep my teeth clean as to use up toothpaste. Some of you may be thinking that if it's that important to be to use up toothpaste, why don't I just squeeze some down the sink? Because that would be wasteful, that's why not. :o)
In other news, I finally got paid for all the afterschool work that I thought I was never going to be paid for, that I had basically written off as volunteer work. But I got paid, 6 weeks after I quit. I'm pretty sure that if I had not stopped going, I would not have gotten paid. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to learn from this. All I know is now I'm rich, whereas about 35 minutes ago before I got my mail, I was not.
In other other news, it's hot here, meaning that in the land of no AC, it's also very hot in my schools. Sometimes it works in my favor and makes the kids sloth-like, but most of the time it just winds them up. Less than 3 weeks of teaching left.
