Another long week.Worked in the yard all day yesterday- weeded garden beds, took care of a pile of branches, and mowed the lawn.
Sara was a big help.
Body hurts just a bit.
Still work to do in the beds- but not today.
Today, errands and preparing for next week.
I hate being the type of teacher who counts down to the end, but only 9 full days left: Full week, then 4 day week, then institute and the final day of classes (Tuesday the 5th, a half day).
Classes are behind with the project- their only major project; comparative to 2nd quarter who had two- mostly due to behavior issues. It may reflect on my classroom management, but I just get tired of "fighting" with particular students, so I assign text work (quiet time- no studio) for the class.
Some of the projects are quite amazing.
Who knows about next year. I think this quarter, perhaps, has changed his mind about next year (a few of not-so-positive conversations). I've already begun bringing boxes home. It does not matter anyway, as the job would only be for a year. RPS 205 is cutting 6th grade art next year, then 7th and 8th the following year, so the job would only be for a year.It is a bit upsetting that I only received one call this past round (Spanish at Auburn). Never talked to them, rather played phone tag for a week. Perhaps they received on the teachers from Spain.
So, it looks like my summer will be spent looking for a job, as was last summer. I have looked a bit- there are jobs out there; some near, some far. I plan to take a day over the long weekend to get it going.
Next round for RPS is 11 June.
Nothing much changed otherwise.
Still feeling 'blah,' perhaps sinking (not spiraling). Thinking I am going to ask Dr. D for his current assessment and talk to Dr. Goldstein for medication. I really do not want to return to that, but need to get off this roller coaster.
