late night?
we love the sound
the sound is what found us
the sound is the blood between me and you
from the song "Romance" by wild Flag
I'm still finding it rather difficult to stay focused and attuned to everything. There is always so much to do and I suppose that is why I am awake at this very moment.
Today was a very good, very productive day. I got to basically conduct 3 periods today, which was easy. It was really just getting them started, introducing the day, the warm-up, and going over the homework. This was all followed by a quiz, which took a substantial amount of time.
Things are still, slowly, beginning to fall into place. I've got to be better about managing/juggling everything. I've gone ahead and outlined September. Particular attention was paid to appointments, class sessions, when I'll be at the high school, tutoring schedule, and AcaDec. I know I've said this before, but it really does seem that this year, and future years, will be a sort of penance for not really appreciating how easy and relaxed the past 8 years have been.
On a related note, I really do like the 12 steps. Though there is a decided spiritual bent to them (which many, often rightly, assume to be a religious bent), I think it does set-up a fairly good outline for life.
The first 3 steps create a foundation. Steps 4-9 are thee "action" steps, and the rest (10-12) are simply maintenance steps which loop back to the beginning. Life, it seems, does go in circles. This notion, however, flies in direct contrast to the notion of time. After all, in terms of time, we can't go back to yesterday, at least not on this realm of thought in which we exist.
But, the hour is late, and I don't have the patience, time, or energy to engage in such discussions.
Things are going well. I have noted some of the problems I face, daily, and I have action plans on how to remedy them. So far, biggest issue is organization and thinking long-term vs. short-term and actually getting things done.
Life is good.
