The last two days of classes are this Monday and Tuesday. I can’t wait. I am tired and overwhelmed by the loss of my job and frankly I am ready for some sort of vacation.
I won’t be working my traditional Extended School Year Summer School program this year which is disappointing but it brings me a much needed break for the summer months.
This past week has been hellish in the stress department; I have been working hard to help my co-teacher get my students lab qualified. So much so that it affected my dreams! I will try to illustrate it for you…
I am running around a science lab trying to help my students become lab qualified, they need 1200 lab minutes in order to take their living environment regents and NYS has put a deadline on when the lab minutes needed to be completed (this is not actually true…yet). The deadline passes and I am running around sneaking my students into my office to try and get them lab qualified. Only to be dodging anyone in authority. I am franticly rushing them, only to have one of them squirt me in the face with a hose…It was nice of them to say thanks for the help in that manner...
That snapped me out of dead sleep. I actually sat up and looked around my bedroom, and then immediately checked to make sure I wasn’t soaking wet.
So stress has been affecting my sleep, but thankfully not my determination to eat healthy.
I have been doing much better with regards to snacking, and eating fairly clean has been giving me decent results. I have noticed little changes; a muscle that shows now that didn’t show before, a little more energy… After having a lengthy discussion with Jamie I decided weight watchers wasn’t the answer for me. It helped a lot in the beginning but I realized I was just scared to take the step into an actual, excuse free healthy lifestyle.
Goldfish however, still remain one of my weakness. Damn that crunchy, salty, cheesy little cracker.
