Thoughts

My thoughts for the day-
I am a bit overwhelmed, as usual. Of course I could not sleep last night, filled with anticipation for the summer courses I am taking. It was similar to the night before the first day of school. I feel so far behind and the term has just started. Just when I finally caught myself up from the regular school year, I go and add summer classes to my schedule. As if I didn't already have enough on my plate. I tend to work best when under pressure. I also tend to take on too many things. However odd it sounds-I thrive under the pressure of having so much to do, but I also stress-extremely!!!

You sound like me! I really haven't had a break yet. School just ended and now this class, but I really thrive on it too. At least you know with this class that the expectations are pretty reasonable. Read, discuss, practice. You're doing the online course, too, right?

Maria,
I echo what you are saying about stressing and doing too much...why do we dread (yet sometimes thrive from) the work in which we immerse ourselves? I feel that we could have a conversation about this topic. Thanks for saying what I believe a lot of teachers feel!
