Third Week of School
Sep. 2nd, 2005 05:51 pmI don't post as much during the school year. I have now been teaching for three weeks. I still haven't quite fallen into my groove. Maybe that is not where I want to be, but I like to be able to do things in the evenings and I have been too sleepy to make it happen. I have scaled back my workouts, but I think I can get back to normal fairly soon. The most difficult part of starting this year has been adjusting my sleeping schedule.
I need to reference this entry later, because it is the one where I say that I like my job and I like my classes. The students at West have been rather nice. They say "Hi" to me in the halls, or say "Hola" or "Buenos días." I like that. At Northwest most kids pretended like I wasn't there. It gets to a person after a while, especially when they do it when I am trying to teach them something!
I have a glorious three-day weekend, and I am going to ride my bike wherever I can. Gas prices are so insane that I am even thinking about trying to car-pool with a VERY high-strung English teacher. I don't know if I can handle the mental anguish, though. There are some things more valuable than a few dollars, like my sanity!
