Day and night
I toss and turn, I keep stressing my mind
I look for peace but see, I don’t attain…
Today was a rough day
a good evening
And an okay night.
I really hate feeling ineffective in the classroom, and I guess that today was just one of those days. I love seeing my colleagues grow and excel, but I really want to see some of that growth happening in my classroom too. No, I don’t need to be unnecessarily harsh on myself, and believe me, I’ll give myself credit where credit is due: I know that I am growing immensely in my leadership skills OUTSIDE of the classroom. The work I do outside of the class is key toward making sure that other peoples’ classes function effectively, and that is important. There’s just something so ironic that in handling those responsibilities, my own classroom growth is stagnate. Tomorrow’s a new day, right?
I love my friends. And I really wish I could have spent more time with them this evening. But it was fun to catch up, talk about boys of the present, and laugh about boys from the past.
Tonight was… 3.5 hours worth of that work that I’m good at, the work I do to make other people’s work go smooth. And at 1:22 am… goodnight.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Time for a day off.
