Ugh

I promise to limit the number of posts like this that I make in this blog. The last week has been a blur of one task to complete after another, and it's not done yet by any stretch. I can't write very much today because I actually have to write a paper in the next hour or so, before getting some work done for my job and facilitating a debate meeting and preparing to lead a debate session and preparing to lead a discussion in my TE302 class and ...

The only reflective thing that I figure I can say about the busybusybusy I've been experiencing lately is, "sounds like a teacher's life." Especially a first year teacher. Well, I suppose if I survive this it's a good indicator of the future. When you see another post from me when I surface for air again, you'll know that I didn't actually have that nervous breakdown I was contemplating at 4:30 AM this morning while writing my syllabus assignment for TE302.

((end of whine))

Your syllabus turned out quite well, Orion. I agree with the busy feeling. I thought that today that I was kind of living the life of a first year teacher. Yikes. I had a freakout moment today as I was reading through the 32 page book for teacher education students. holy cow! I'm going to be a TEACHER! I'm doing this! I'm excited, petrified, terrified, nervous, anxious, etc. all rolled into one. :)

Hang in there, Orion!

Just keep in mind that someday in the not-so-distant future you'll actually be able to enjoy your summers :)
