I've been trying to get my life together as it relates to my job. I love teaching, but it's extremely high stress and there are lots of pressures other than the whole 17 third graders thing (Utah teachers, don't hate me for that class size).
And it's been working a little bit. My lesson plans are working out. I successfully used the phrases "giant ray of death", "giant line segment of death", and "giant angle of death" in my math lesson today and it was awesome. Turns out you're lucky if your house is built at the vertex of the giant angle of death because the rays only hit Mars and the Sun and you're ok.
The point is, I've been trying to be a better teacher and it's working for the most part.
But I can't get my own life together. I don't stop and visit the kids and Heather (family, duh) because I need to hurry home and grade, plan, prepare, etc. There's no time to go sit on the couch with Mom and watch Criminal Minds. Sleep is trying it's best to go away (about 4 hours a night). And I'm a huge anti-social loser.
The end.
