I'm up at 6:45 am because I'm going back to teaching for the first time in two weeks. I keep thinking about the fact that at the last class I taught, I thought I was still carrying a healthy pregnancy. I was puking between my courses. I scarfed down two slices of pizza at a staff meeting. I drove home and puked some more.
And then the next morning everything changed.
I really don't want to go back. I want to curl up in a ball in my bed and drink tea and hold my hot water bottle and watch bad tv. But my students have missed out on a week-and-a-half of their course. And while they wouldn't mind never coming back in again, I'm sure, I can't let them down like that.
Only three weeks left. I can make it.
I guess that's what being a grown-up is about.
I'm back, and it's hopefully not a once-off!!

You can do it! I just hope your students don't ask a bunch of stupid or awkward questions!
ReplyDeleteBoo! Just keep thinking how its over in only three more weeks. Sometimes being a grown-up is no fun.
ReplyDeleteMaybe getting back to your routine will be a little bit of a distraction? Although I'm sure it's never far from your mind.
ReplyDelete3 weeks. You can do it.
I hope you eat lots of yummy food this week and get lots of comfort from your family this week.
