My adventures as a teacher

I have spent the last 7 weeks getting ready for the new year. As is typical with most first years, I made a lot of mistakes last year that I do not want to repeat. There were also a couple of things that drove me completely batsh*t crazy. So I’ve been working on ways around these things. I’ve got some really good ideas that I’m very proud of and some of them took a lot of work to get all set up and ready to use. The thing is I keep second guessing myself. I will change things and change things and change things as long as I keep dwelling on it. I have changed somethings a couple of times now. I sat down yesterday and started changing things again. That is just nuts. So today I finished what I started yesterday and said that is it. I. Am. Done. I packed everything up and I am not going over it again. I’m ready, I’ve got some good things planned and I’m not going to continue second guessing myself. Nothing is ever going to be absolutely perfect and I need to just let go and let God. It will work out the way it works out. The good thing is that everyone says, nothing is as bad as your first year teaching. Last year was awesome so if it gets better I’ve got everything to look forward to. So that’s it for now. School starts on Monday. I don’t face students until Thursday but I’m as ready as I’m going to be. Bring it on….
