In the Need Strength and Healing


I feel like I am a walking zombie that is slowly going insane with a hectic schedule that deals with school, work, and things that come between certain time of the day. Even though I only have one class that I have to go on Tuesday and Thursday and another class on Friday, I have to wake up early around 6am to get ready. My brother isn't a morning person, so it tends to take me 15 to 20 mins to literally wake him. By 6:45, Steven and I are in the car and I am driving him to school. By 7:15, I should be on my way to school. By 7:45 to 8:00, I should be finding parking around a clear neighborhood to park my car. I tend to rest in my car before walking to school. I tend to park 2 to 3 blocks away from school because I don't think it is worth to pay for parking since I only have 2 classes. Who would want to pay $260 for a parking permit? My class starts at 9:00 and ends around 11:15. It takes me literally 15 mins to power walk back to my car. I start work around 1:30 but I am there around 12:30 for lunch and setting up for that day lesson.

So, last week I manage to work 30 to 35 hours since one of the PL quit and the other took a leave of absent due to pregnany...which is legit reason! The other PL went without saying anything to the other PLs' or site coordinators. On Monday, her students were spread out to each class because our site coodinator didn't have time to notify THINK Together headquarter to have a replacement. Each PL's class includes 15 students except my class has 22 students. So, one site coordinator took over one class and the rest had to be spread out evenly to other classes. We didn't find out until Thursday that she quit because she took a leave of absent the week prior due to personal reason. I had 30 kids to take care of.

With this incident, and the cheating incident, last week was not a good week for me. By Friday, I was starting to feel ill due to having sore throat and a lack of voice being gone. Some of my kids were behaving awful to the point that I almost lost my patient. I was so stressed due to the fact I needed to study for my exam which include 8 chapters. So, yesterday I had to take the test I barely knew the questions on the test.....frustrated!!! I went out of class feeling disappointed and angry...!!!

Now, I am doing extra credit for my class. I need to read memoirs...at least 3 books and watch 5 documentaries and then write a report for each one. After work today, I went to the bookstore really quick to pick out 3 books. They are called, "For You Mom, Finally," "Dwarf," and "Smile for the Camera." I still need to find documaries to watch. Even though by the end of the semester I need to write a 10 pages essay on another book for my final, I am still willingly to read more books. Maybe these books can give me something....transport me into another dimension. I don't have time to myself or have a social life at the moment of time....!!! Lol, my blog ranting moment. Maybe next blog will be sometime pleasant...

I love this movie, InkHeart, it makes reading seems magical. Even though it is a trailer, you can go on netflix to watch it. If you had the power to read any story and it came to life, what book would you read?
