I can't beleive that the semester is almost half done. I apologize for not posting, but I'm swamped. Last semester called for adjustments on many fronts. This semester I'm understandng the majority of the material, but I'm overwhelmed by the amount. There is a lot more writing this time around. I know that in this league, I have to get accustomed to it, but my time management is still off. So I'm suposed to be on break this week, but I have several papers to finish. Unfortunately, I keep finding other things to do like housekeeping and blogging.
What I have come to realize and accept about myself is that I LOVE teaching. I remembered being excited about planning lessons from my public school teaching days. But I also remember grading papers, fretting over discipline and dredding Mondays. I still grade papers, but I really love thinking about how to explain a concept, helping students, and encouraging those who struggle. I really want to keep doing this. But in order to do it at this level( as opposed K-12), I have to finish this degree.
So I guess I better get back to writing those papers!
