The life of school AND work...

So, the first two official complete weeks of my summer gave me insight to what the next two years will be like...

This is a basic day of teaching and then going to school, with a focus on the specifics of my first day.

I began July 9th at 7am headed to work at Warner Robins Middle School for the teacher orientation for Summer Remediation for 8th graders who failed the CRCT. I arrived at 7:30am only to discover I did not need to be there until 8am. We did not even begin until 8:30am with the introduction. All of the teachers took turns introducing themselves saying their name, home school where they taught at, and what their goal was for the next two weeks. Most teachers said their goal was to help students to exceed their expectations and pass the CRCT. I said I was going to help the students see their struggling areas and get past their struggles so they could succeed. Then we went on about our day learning what we would be teaching for the next two weeks. I finished at 3pm at work.

By the time I finished work, I had just enough time to go to the house to change clothes, let the dogs out, and make a snack for dinner before I was headed to work out at the gym. I worked out for about 30 minutes, from 3:30pm-4pm. I ran on the elliptical for about 20 minutes and lifted weights working on my legs and mid-section.

Then I headed to school in Macon at 4pm. I arrived around 4:30pm and walked in to class where most of my classmates were already seated. I sat down and opened up my notebook. I realized that night that I needed to bring my laptop from now on because I can type faster than I can write. Some days we get out at 7pm or 7:30pm and other days we get out at 9pm.

By the time I get home, I am so exhausted I usually fall asleep on the couch. Jeremy has to either wake me up, or carry me to bed most nights. He is my Knight in Shinning Armor!! He is so sweet and often lets me sleep on the couch for an hour or so, because he doesn't want to wake me up.

Those days are over for now... At least until my birthday, when I have to go back to work. What a birthday present! HA! So, I am very thankful for my days this summer where I just have to go to school and not work too!
