My so called life!
The last few weeks have been a wurl wind for me! I have gotten engaged, started my 3 week (actually 5 week) block for my internship, began backstage management for the school play, and have been on many different news shows, news broadcastings and in newspaper articles over the whole engagement. I have also been able to successfully plan a wedding around all of this in a short period of time… only 5 months to go til the big day!! This whole semester has been a complete blur and that includes the teaching aspect of it as well! If someone was to go ask me how I am liking my teaching experience and try to find out which experience is the most memorable in my mind… I would have to stare at them blankly for awhile!! I have no recollection of any particular moment in my life that involves teaching and all I remember about the teaching is that I am loving it even though I really don’t remember what I do from day to day! I am very grateful that I am a planner with everything under control even though I feel lost half of the time!!
Other than all of that, I am loving this whole experience as a teacher and can not wait to apply for jobs… this is a career path that I can not wait to be apart of full time!!! YAY!!!
So much to do.. So many decisions to make!!!
I have come to the realization that my Internship is going to be over way faster than I am completely prepared for!! I will actually admit that I am in panic mode!
Come January of the New Year I will be teaching… whether I will be a sub or a contract teacher I do not know yet. However, the thought of getting my resume out for the world to see was a thought that I am not prepared to have right now. Yet there are people coming to me from all different directions informing me to get my butt in gear!! I feel overwhelmed and disorganized!! I know that finding a job of some sort is the next step in this logical order, however, I just feel the need to get through this part of the order first!! Hence the feeling of panic and utter loss of organization!!
So here I am now hoping that just keying down the feelings that I have right now will help me get them at least organized so that I can look into getting the materials ready for my applications of employment!! So far I still feel that stab of panic at the back of my throat!! Yup… its definitely still there!!
All I can think about at this particular moment is teaching my next two classes about bibliographies and helping the students proof read the essay’s that they are to hand into me tomorrow… and one decision has just been made!! I will concentrate on my students and the classes that I have right now and when I feel the time is here I will then get my life organized enough to begin with the job applications!! There is only so much time in a person’s life and right now that time is being taken up with just teaching everyday… my Multi-tasking skills are yet to be tuned in the direction of everyday life other than teaching!!!
