Oh how life (and mine imparticular) seems to revolve around school much more than I'd like. I guess when I chose teaching as a profession I should expect that, right?
School will start for me in two weeks and I am just starting to mentally prepare. It will be very hard to prepare my classroom since our school is being renovated and my stuff is packed in many many boxes all put in various storage units. The fact that we wont be able to get into our building until a couple of days before school actually starts really stresses me out.
Not only will be career start back up, but I have to take the GRE and apply to grad school so that I can also go back to school. More fun! This stresses me out because grad school is sooo expensive!! More stress.
I was so looking forward to the summer time because I felt I would get to spend more time with my husband. He works part time because he is in SCHOOL to get his MBA. He usually only has classes 2 nights a week, but guess what? He has busier this summer than ever before. He has had a couple of Saturday classes, a weeklong class, then he had to make up work for missing during that weeklong class, etc.
Can you see how school might play a huge role in my life? Im praying that I will not stress over preparing for school in a limited amount of time and that I will be refreshed and ready to meet my new students. I pray that I will not be stressed about the cost of grad school. It is necessary and God has blessed and provided for us all along, so why should I doubt in Him now? I pray that I will treasure all of the time I get with my husband, family, and friends because we all know time is too precious to waste. As easy as it is to be stressed about these things I am greatful to be employed , to be able to persue a graduate degree in an area I am excited about, and thankful my husband has had the same opportuity!
