Lately I have been feeling very manic. I gave up my permanent job to chase my dream of being a full time classroom teacher in January 2014. I started applying for jobs in December 2013 and as December rolled into January 2014 I was sure I would be offered a position doing my dream job full time! January came and went with out so much as an email or sniff of an offer.
In desperation I started calling principals at local schools two days before school started and got offered a one term contract for one day a week as a science specialist ( i am early childhood trained ) OK, well at least i am in a school right????!! so excited, wait I have got to teach all three classes so i see 70 kids in one day? ahhh no problem, and I have to go to each of their classrooms and have no desk or space to call my own ALRIGHT WELCOME TO TEACHING !!!
I've had a good run at doing relief (sub) work but the last two weeks of school that dropped down to one and to days a week eeekkkkkk so as a consequence I'M BORED!!!..
It's now the school holidays and Easter..........................................
and if your anything like me, the eating of the chocolate holds allure for about 24 hours and then along with the sugar high the bordem hits......
I was discussing (complaining) about this to a male friend of mine, BIG MISTAKE men cannot listen, they have to fix it! i explained how i feel manic because i have a bunch of projects on the go at once, currently i am sewing, learning to paint, making dolls, embroidery AND watching Game of Thrones.
Now this good friend of mine said i should make a list and check the "doable" things off that list each day.
Well his exact words went something like this, " when your having your morning coffee... blah blah blah because the instant he said that magic word COFFEE........mmmmmmmmm coffee( the only reason i go to bed at night is to dream about that first cup in the morning), i was lost in thoughts about coffee !
But seriously my mate suggested make a list while your having your coffee look at your list, if any of it seems achievable or do able by the end of the day and you can envision yourself completing that task then do it.
OK step 1 find the paper to write on, seriously !! I am a teacher I have paper, oooohhh which paper, the personalised stationary, the pretty stuff, the functional stuff? FOCUS DAMN YOU !
Got time for a coffee he said? Nup I am working on my list..
