I have an observation tomorrow, my final one for the whole school year. The lesson is called "When Pigs Fly." It'll be a fun lesson on porbability. I'm very excited. I just can't wait for it to be done, I think I'm more excited about it being done than the actual lesson itself. (Can you blame me, after this observation, that's 15 observations this year in between BYU and the school district).
Now I'm working on my personal career statement. Getting it done seems to be the perfect time to say "When Pigs Fly." Such a pain to try and sell myself with a limit of how many words and having to address specific things.
A - I hate being in the spotlight, more than ever, I hate it. The only time I enjoy it is when it's from my husband. For this reason, I hate selling myself. I feel like I'm trying to hide all my faults and struggles when I'm selling myself. Which I hate, because I know what my weaknesses are now after 15 observations.
B - It's grad school. Holy cow, I can't believe I'm actually applying to grad school. This coming from the girl who didn't even plan on going to college at all when she was 18. I'm nuts, seriously. I've been in school every year since I was 2. No breaks at all. I'm a little tired....but hey, it's the perfect time to do it.
C - I'm just flat out tired. I've been trying to work on this career statement since January 23rd. Yeah, do I have a single word down yet? No. However, I do have an idea of what I'm going to say now....27 days later...how sad.
D - It's a holiday for crying out loud. I want to just take the day off on a holiday. I spent Saturday at a very pointless meeting that I am still very sorely disappointed about. I wasted 7 hours (including driving time) for that meeting, and I didn't gain one thing from it. I could've used all that time to be working on the stuff I am now so that I could have today off and just rest and get the house in order. Yeah, somewhat bitter about it.
E - ALL MOTIVATION IS GONE. I have no drive left, seriously. It's all gone. I honestly don't care about a lot of things right now. Which is a very bad thinga s a teacher because lately I've been doing my lesson plans last minute (yet, they are productive, just dang, it's hard sometimes). I talked to other teachers about this, and they said everyone feels that way about this time of the year. Made me feel somewhat better, but I still expect more/better of myself.
Ok, I'm done wasting time, back I go to attempting to do this personal career statement and listening to music....
