School is good. The work is a bit overwhelming- with 3 preps and 5 sections, I really dont have time to do much but teach, plan, eat, and sleep. But with time and experience I will get leisure activities in there.
The kids are great. I have a lotta fun with them... I can have discussions (yeah, ME have discussions! woohoo!) and we all have a great time of it.
Dealing with parents can be a pain-- but its these times that I realize Im actually an adult here instead of just another kid-which is absolutely crazy.
the only thing that kills me is grading all these freaking essays!! I have like 120 to grade and they continue to stack up-oh my.
I did my first half-marathon on sunday in San Diego. It was georgeous. (and full of pain)
I loved the course. Couldnt believe I went 13.1 miles without stopping, the entire time and kept a good pace. spectacular. It was of course THE MOMENT I came to a hault that all the pain came pouring onto my body... and yeah, it hasnt really stopped. (my limping has caused all my kids to enquire "MS Wilson, Are you ok?" some kids even threatened to beat up whoever did this to me! [not understanding, of course,that a road and not a person beat the crap outta me] ha)
life is different now. its weird.
I thought i was going to HATE it...
but really... I love it.
(i think i'm just relieved to be rid of my past)
