I’m flying around at school trying to get everything taught to every kid, whether they’re here or not here, listening or not listening, caring or SO SERIOUSLY NOT CARING. I’m wiped.
But do I need to be in such a hurry?
Won’t the days keep arriving, even if I have to stretch things to last several days? (Answer: They will. I can lighten up on the over-hustle.)
But I feel it, that need to hurry. That need to bust out the most information, the most learning, the most cool stuff.
And I should just learn to feel otherwise. Because, whether I’m cheerful or burned out, I only have four and a half more months doing this teaching thing. I want to enjoy the moments.
