There comes a point in each Semester where I just don't think that I can do it anymore: get up at 5:45, get to school at 6:15, spend 7 hours of my life on my feet trying to motivate teenagers not only to succeed but to succeed and meet MY high standards all the while repeating myself ad nauseum, come home and eat as quickly as possible so that I can spend my evening grading and lesson planning. It exhausts me just to TYPE it let alone live it day after day. Teaching, if you're doing it right, is EXHAUSTING, and right now, I'm BEAT.
That sounds like 'whining', but it's honestly not. It's simply a (long) list of facts.
Another fact to add to the list is that no matter how hellish some days are, there are still amazing moments tucked into each day that remind me of why I originally began teaching.
All that being said, I need the next two weeks to re-energize my batteries, because this bunny is running low on power.
