right now i am in the middle.
in the middle of studying for my huge professional school test retake.
in the middle of training for my half-marathon.
in the middle of my last semester teaching.
and it’s HARD.
my studying makes me want to cry because the material is so complicated. i did well enough the first time i took the test and got some great professional school offers, however i declined all my offers b/c i KNEW, no i KNOW i can score better. and since i did not perform my best i decided to retake this test and reapply. a few people thought i was nuts, but i know myself and know i won’t be happy unless i give this test 100% of myself.
my half-marathon training is on hold until my back heals. i went from no training to running over 20 miles a week and pinched a nerve. i got so excited and pushed myself too hard, too fast. so now i’ve been resting this week and feeling sorry for myself.
this is my last semester teaching. my 8th graders are SO OVER jr. high. they have two more months until they can call themselves **high-schoolers** and getting through to them right now is a huge challenge.
so right now i am half-way up this mountain and june will be here sooner than i know. i just have to remember that while half-way may not be the top, it certainly is not the bottom.
and i need to just put one foot in front of the other.
one day at a time.
lots of love,
e.
