this job is not for the weak
sometimes i don't think that my job is fit for humans. today was one of those days.
it is true that teaching can be very rewarding. it is true that you touch lives and the future everyday. it is true that there are students out there that truly come to school to get an education. but it is also true that many times i am an overpaid babysitter for children that are too old for a babysitter.
today was one of those days.
could be the time of year (did i mention that i have 25 class days left)! could be that the weather is getting warmer. could be, but bottom line is that the students i had difficulty with today are some of the same one that i have had difficulty with always.
comes with the job i guess.
in the meantime i sit here at home trying to unwind and relax. get into "a zen place", which by the way i've tried to find at work.
my peach/ginger tea is good. my spa garden cd is soothing. and i have a facial scheduled for next week.
all we can do is hang on!
