flyakateI have that momentary (I'm sure) feeling of peace and mild calm that always comes after you've cleaned your room. Granted, this calm is slightly shattered by the caffeine spike that comes with having finished a venti latte and needing to eat some dinner type thing, but still.
I am actually almost on top of things at the moment. I finished the Inquiry paper (of Doom and Annoyance, which really sums up many papers) and turned it in only... two weeks late? *disarming smile* Mostly it's because I totally took overadvantage of the fact that my extension didn't really have an end date.
AND! I finished my Phonics project and turned IT IN TOO. I am made of awesomeness. Or slight productivity. What remains in a portfolio due on Friday which I need to do some work on tonight (wheeee graphic picturey representations of my teaching philosophy, whut) and a Curriculum due on Tuesday which is coming together quite nicely, God bless my group members. They are so organized.... aha, that's where it's coming from. Run! The productivity is contagious! Ewwwwwwwww. XD
I also successfully taught mixed numbers (i.e. 2 and 1/3 or whatever) to my third graders with mostly comprehension, which is key. I also subbed this afternoon and prevailed in not flinging the noisy ones out the window. I feel this is a vast accomplishment.
Part of this feeling of accomplishment is due to the fact that one of the kids, right before we left, gave me a note (on a sticky note):
You rock. Thank you for putting up with us. - Kid's name
Have died of cute. Metaphorically, otherwise I will not graduate. Aheh.
Finally, deeeeeeear anxiety system (some people have nervous systems, I feel mine has progresed into an anxious system): no more anxiety attacks in the middle of third grade. Prickly stomach and pains in hip to stop now please. Partly because, wtf, pains in hip? Craziness. Also, irritiating. Loooooooove, Me
