Tomorrow will be a long day. I have The Big Game to attend as an orientation/professional development to the school I will be teaching at and then I have work right after that working the banquet. The professional development sounds like it should be really fun. At least they made it sound like it'll be fun because they are calling it "The Big Game!". I think the topics will be the most helpful to me, as well, especially because I'm a first year teacher and I seriously am lost. This lost feeling isn't getting any better either because everyone that said I could contact them anytime aren't around to answer any of my questions or concerns. I'm taking this all in very slowly and I have a feeling I took it a little too slowly because I start in TWO weeks!!!
I've been very lethargic this summer and I really am not happy about it. I had so much planned for me to do but I was easily consumed by my 13 inch television on a daily basis.
Honestly, I do work my best during the late hours of the night as I am a night crawler...which is funny because I remember when I filled out a roommate survey for Drake to find me a roommate I purposely wrote that I went to bed early so I could have a roommate that wasn't a total party girl and later...four years later, came to find out that Annelise had done the same! See how beautifully that turned out! We both lied to get a good roommate. I'm sure everyone does it.
This sort of makes me go on a side tangent, which is a notorious characteristic of good teachers, that freshmen year Annelise and I hated each other. We complained up the wazoo to everyone about each other and really wanted the other out but didn't want to be the one to say anything because then that person would have to be the one to find another living arrangement-all of which was way too complicated to figure out. We didn't room together our sophomore year because of that and then roomed junior and senior year together. She is one of my really good friends at Drake...good enough that I'm putting her on my teacher desk at school, but she doesn't know that. I guess Annelise and I never really tell each other how much we mean to each other but we do enjoy each other's company. I believe the thing that brings us together the most is our family life-being able to confide in each other, knowing that the other won't tell anyone else, but that the other will understand the emotion wrapped up around the situation.
Well, now somehow it has turned about to be a quarter till 11 pm and I need to fold the laundry and get my clothes ready for tomorrow...along with lunch, snacks, and supplies to take.
AHHHHH. I don't want to grow up. Life is tough being an adult. I tip my hat to all the adults that live it everyday.
