Rant

I am so overwhelmed right now. There's only a few more weeks until the end of the year and it seems like the more I put in effort, the more that situations arise. The end of the year is obviously crazy anyways. Kids are tired of doing work and we are starting our last big project before finals...a research paper. On top of that, the study guides for the finals are due tomorrow and even though I teach three classes live, I get to do five study guides with a literature and grammar portion each....so that pretty much makes it more like ten.

I'm also being mentored now and it will continue through the summer. Hopefully this will be a big help for next year. The current thing we're working on...being more diplomatic. You know, it's when you are trying to say something and you have to say it in a way that will not offend anyone and still get your point across. Ya, that's a really hard one for me. I'm all about being direct and clear, but that's not going to work. I'm doing better with my emails to parents (although I have to think twice as hard on how to properly word it).


There's also a lot going on at home. I've been very up and down since Saturday afternoon so I'm not feeling too well. On top of that, the maintenance team is coming by tomorrow to inspect the heating/cooling system in everyone's apartment. Yep, we're going to have to pick up a few things here and there...and I think it's safe to say there is a fat chance that we're going to the gym tonight with all of the school work that still needs to be done.

I'm tired. Like, really tired and can't take a break. Maybe next week?
