Twas the night before Monday
Happy Sunday. Hope ya'll had a nice weekend. Mine was. It was pretty chill thankfully. It was kind of what I needed and wanted.
The most "exciting" thing that happened, was the fact that I did not have to spend $229 on a repair of my MacBook at the Apple store. THANKFULLY, my computer was still under warranty, and I was able to get a new battery, new charger, and the work done for free. Never have I wanted to hug the heck out of an Apple Genius more in my entire life. I may have bought myself a drink at Applebee's with dinner, because I was so fucking happy.
I'm glad this weekend was somewhat calm as well, because tomorrow is my first day of work. ZOMG! I think I'm alright, but I know tomorrow I'm going to be a hot mess. Somewhere deep inside I know that I'm excited about it, but it just hasn't hit me yet. I'm having flashbacks to student teaching, and that's not making me feel so good about things. If you were here during that time, you might remember that my mentor and I got into a fight, and it wasn't good. But what I think is different about those two situations, is that at the time, I wasn't quite as equal with my mentor as I feel like I am with the teacher I'm going to be working with. I guess I mean that I feel like, at least I hope, that I'm more of an equal, and not as much as a student. I'm sure it'll be fine, but it's so new and terrifying!
Disclaimer: I don't mean to offend anyone with the next paragraph. I just want to share something that I think all of us could benefit from thinking about.
When I went to church this morning, there was something that I liked in one of the opening prayers of sorts. It talked about God, but I think we as people could do the same whether you happen to be religious or not, turning afflictions into blessing. It just kind of spoke to me this morning, and like I said, something everyone could think about. When something bad happens to you, turn it into a blessing, or something positive. Because although it may seem like an affliction, it really might be something that you, or someone near to you, could benefit or be blessed by. That's all.
I now will leave you with something that I used to link every year on the night before the first day of school. It's from one of my all time favorite movies, and I think still fitting.
Have a good night and a wonderful week <3
