In the last two - three weeks, I've been so busy that I've not had an opportunity to post anything to the blog. Sighs. Imagine that - that you are so busy that you don't have time to put down a few sentences to keep track of your days.
I really don't have time to really post, but I'm going to make the time right now.
Worries
I'm worried about a fellow teacher. Her name is Donna. Donna has been a friend of mine now for about 6 years. I've come to be very close with her. She's a cancer survivor and now it looks as if she may have something similar to cancer. She's had two biopsies now with the tumor (that's what the docs are calling it) that has been steadily growing inside. It's wrapping around her kidney, her adreneal gland near the kidney, a part of her liver and also an artery that's going down her leg. I don't want anything to happen to her. If something does - it's going to be very very hard for me to loose someone so special to me.
I'm also worried about work and things in general there. I've mentioned the 4 classes in 1 period already in my journal. It sucks that they think that my class is a melting pot. I was really worried about the kids being a handful this year - so far it's only going to be perhaps one or two students that I may have to pin back their ears. No, this year, it's the administration that's going to drive me to the brink. It's going to be one of those most interesting and frustrating years and that's starting to piss me off more than anything else.
Busy busy busy
I have three games this week to be at. I have to be at a Tuesday, Thursday and Friday game. It's going to be one of those weeks where I don't know if I'm coming or going quite honestly. Indeed, I may meet myself somewhere in between and when I do, I may have to shake my own hand and see if I can help myself out.
On top of that, I'm working on a couple of different audios at the same time. It may be interesting to see how that works out. I'm not sure at the moment how it will all work out or not. Hmmm.
With Donna being absent, I also have to grade her papers that I've been getting together and put in her grades for the kids. I know that she's going to be out so, I'm setting up her lesson plans as well as doing my own. I guess that I'm going to have to be on the ball at least while I'm at work. I still think that it's humorous that I'm helping to teach World Geography right now. Gees.
Physically
I'm having some really big issues with my back. It's starting to spasm more and I don't know if it's from stress or if it's from just the muscles/bones that are out of whack. I know that I need to work out more, but it just hurts to do so. I guess that I'll just have to bear with it.
At least I'm not getting sick. Oh boy. Now that I've written that out, I'm sure that some kind of luck will come down and smite me with something horrible that I'm going to have to get over. *knocks on wood* I do hope that makes it enough so that I don't have to worry about that anyway.
Overall
Overall - I guess that I'm just coping like anyone else in my situation who is worried about friends and family and dealing with life. I know that I'll make it through - because God will only give me as much as He thinks that I can take. I know this - and I know that He thinks that I can do an awful lot.
So... here's my favorite quote and I'll leave with that:
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference."
