Thoughts/Rambling
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed this week, but I'm trying to work through it. I knew that completing my Masters degree was not going to be a walk in the part, but I really added a lot of stress when I decided to switch jobs the same year that Common Core Standards, SLO's and my fiance was hospitalized all simultaneously. Luckily, Ben is doing well...everything else is crazy busy!
I have a lot to do for this internship and I feel incredibly behind. I keep trying to squeeze in more meetings or more observations, but when I spend 4 hours on Sunday grading artwork and not even getting an ounce of planning done for the week, I can't seem to figure out when to add in those extra 160 hours that I need to accomplish by December! I know it will all fall into place, it just seems daunting right now.
Aside from all of the grad school and job business, I am starting to feel like I'm growing up and not trying to be such a people-pleaser all the time. I've been doing a lot of thinking since Ben was in the hospital. I'm starting to realize that I really am okay just being myself. I don't NEED a guy or a perfect job or another degree to make myself happy. I think I'm starting to appreciate myself a lot more. Perhaps turning 30 is having a positive affect on me. My birthday is on Wednesday and I've accomplished a couple of goals on my 31 before 31. I'm hoping to knock out some more before 2013 is over.
Although I haven't found much time to work out lately, I did seem to tweak my shoulder doing arms yesterday. It's frustrating when you're trying to do something healthy and you keep injuring yourself! I'm sure I'll be alright. Ibuprofen and the heating pad are my best friends at the moment. I hope all of you are staying healthy and happy out there. Here's to good things to come! (Sorry for the randomness in this blog. It's been a manic Monday!)
