Guess who's back? Back Again.
Wow folks, it has been a long time. Things are going well here. This weekend happened to be overally pretty, pretty, pretty good. The Hawkeyes won, my Fantasy football team stomped a good friend of mine's team, and Curb Your Enthusiasm tonight on HBO was very funny. I went into school today too and accomplished close to everything I wanted to.
Therein lies my blog topic tonight. It just seems like I can never get caught up. I need a week of no school, no practice, no games for me to grade everything and plan ahead a bit. That week isn't coming any time soon though. Tis the life of a teacher. I really enjoy what I do overall, but I definately see where burnout happens. Maybe I'm not "grown-up" enough yet, but it really bugs me that it seems like I have NO time for myself right now. I check, I plan, I teach, I coach, I check, I plan...the cycle goes on and on. I don't know how those with families do it. But, I would like to meet someone and begin working my way towards a family and I don't have any time to really meet anyone to do so. I think this is the definition of a "vicious cycle." Enough complaining for now, I don't mean to come off as a "debbie downer" type person.
Other school news, it was homecoming this past week and twice my car was saran-wrapped and had little messages window-painted on. All in good fun. We also had a breakout of the whooping cough. What shocked me is that we didn't even cancel school. Usually that is the first step when a number larger than 1 have been confirmed. I had a couple of these kids in my classes, so following directions I was on some antibiotic last week. Made my stomach somewhat unsettled all week too. Thankfully that is over with. I wish I knew more or had some really funny stories, or something really cool/interesting that has happened to me that I could share but I don't. I guess, one thing is that I was asked tonight to be a groomsman in a good friend's wedding this next summer. That should be exciting. I'm targeting this wedding as THE ONE that I will have a date to. Target date, July 29, so keep your eyes and ears open for me ;). One last thing: I promise that I will try to keep this updated more often. Especially now that volleyball season is winding down and I'm starting to settle into my new surroundings/job a little more.
