Sorry for the long absence. The last week (ish) has been rather hectic. I took my teacher certification exam and after 4 hours of testing, my brain was mush! I'm super happy to have that out of the way though!
Recently, I've been doing a bit of thinking. My summer is far from ideal. I'd like to sit on a beach somewhere and plan for the classes I am teaching in the fall. Instead, I'm working like crazy, taking class, and being stressed out. I know that this will pay off in the long run, but it's really not working for me right now. So, I have decided that enough is enough. I am going to give myself the last month of summer to have the "vacation" that I want. At first, I couldn't justify quitting my summer job but I am young. I have the rest of my life to work. I need to use my summer time wisely. I'd like to travel, visit friends, and create lesson plans. The way I see is that there are a lot of productive ways to use this time; only one of which is working. If I plan now, I'll have more free time during the school year. Plus, once I get a full time job, traveling will be a little more difficult. Maybe this is just me justifying my decision, or maybe I am actually making the right choice.
Regardless, I believe in doing what is going to make me happy. Complaining is not going to make me happier, but changing up my lifestyle (even just for a short time) will definitely help!
