Yesterday I spent about 5 hours on my home campus working with new teachers. It was an amazing day. I love the energy at the beginning of the year. Enthusiasm is high and it feels like I can do anything I put my mind to. the awesome thing is that it is not just my enthusiasm. It is almost 100% across all faculty and staff. We are renewing work relationships and friendships, planning for classes and for the entire year, and the anticipation of the first day with students is firmly planted and growing.
This is it. It is GO time. It is time to script the first day, readjust sleep schedules, and organize the classroom. If you follow me on Google+ checkout the videos I will be highlighting over the next week or so. They are specific to this time of year. and may help you save some time and make some things a little easier for you.
My anxiety level is high. This year I plan on including you in my journey through anxiety and the menatlups ad downs that I usually try to mask from others. Anxiety and extreme emotional lows have been part of my life for over 30 years now. I don't have any answers, but I do know that knowing I am not alone out there has helped me cope. I hope that by sharing these challenges I face it might help someone else as well. Of course I am not making this part of my journey the sole or even the main focus of the year. I am going to simply include it with the awesome information that i continue to find, that I wish I had known when I started this career.
looking forward to learning with you, teaching with you, and growing with you.
together we can take over the world.
