Wow! it has been awhile. a long while. i didn't realize how long until just now. i've been very unmotivated... but this week has changed it. we got out of school at noon on tuesday, didn't have school on wednesday, and don't have school today. the unexpected days off have been refreshing.
life has been interesting... well not really life but work. as many of you know, i work in an incredibly small school. if is nothing like anything they teach you in college.... NOTHING! they try to teach you how to make your lessons address the different levels of one grade of students, but not 4 grades. i'm not gonna lie. it has been a hard year. very hard. but i feel like things are starting to change. i feel like the 2 other teachers and i are finally starting to work together and that the i've found my grove. we had conferences last night... that helped too. it's good to know that the parents are happy and like me.
we have had 2 blizzards in the last 11 days... i was ready for spring but now i REALLY want it to come. in some places, when the calendar says it is spring, there is spring weather. that is NOT true for nd. i really want to be able to run outside again. i know i could not but i'm just not that hard core.
so here's hoping for a good final 7 weeks of school and nice weather so i can run outside.
isn't that how real life is, though? NOTHING like they teach you in school no matter WHAT you studied and what you are doing.
ReplyDeletei have to admit, though, i'm VERY ready to be done. done with school (at least at msu), done with interviews, done with waiting, done with being stuck inside, even done with my volunteering. lately, the stress of life has just been piling on and i seem to be getting up every day a little more tired and having just a little bit harder time getting up and staying motivated through the day. perhaps it's just that i'm ready to graduate or that spring is being REALLY weird or something. here's to hoping that the last 7 weeks of school go by quickly and that i do well in these 7 weeks.
ps. it was good talking to you. :)
