Sundays are wearing me out. I live for the days where I am enjoying the outdoors and also getting time to enjoy the things I love indoors. Sundays are working out in that fashion but it leaves me a little brain drained. That’s where this piece starts. Brain drain means few longform coherent thoughts. Which means…
Some Thoughts:
- I have way too many things to remember on a daily basis. I gotta break this stuff down and eliminate the things I don’t really need to do.
- Also need to get my life together faster–especially in terms of having teaching stuff ready way before semester.
- I checked my numbers for the spring. I need to get them up–especially in the creative writing classes.
- Everything now is about building a longform resume for the next stage. I need to be able to prove that I am a good teacher, because the next stage is about people who don’t know me when I, eventually, move and start over.
- Starting over is very exciting–at least at first. Finding a new routine is an adventure. Settling into a new space when you lack the funds to do it right is a straight up pain.
- Sports have dominated my life for a while now. It is a strange feeling to know the last kid is nearing ‘drive himself’ age and opportunity, which means my role will be super limited. I love that idea. I love how it will change my daily routine. Excited for it.
