What luck do I have? I’m busy one week and can’t blog. So this morning, after I’ve caught up on sleep, I decide to share a little something, but blogger is down, I think. Or perhaps it just ceases to exist anymore. Lucky I have Windows Live Writer so I can blog even if I can’t log in to blogger. So…
This past week I’ve gone on a freaky rollercoaster of emotions and in-my-head conversations. Excitement from the start and loss of sleep. All day lesson preparation daily that resulted in one or two of my lesson questions being answered by the same two people who give partial attention. Wednesday we played a game. I thought, let’s make this fun. For a group of athletes, their competitive level is very low apart from the one girl in our class who is overly competitive and got mad because her team lost and gave me attitude in reply to “don’t worry it’s just a game”…. “Whatever” she said in such a sass or a bratty way that I could feel my insides bubble. That was my lowest day. I caught myself asking “Why am I doing this"? I felt like I wasn’t doing enough to teach them. It didn’t help that my lessons were underprepared and I kept going over time. Good news though, next week I have off and so I get to take my time to prepare meaningful lessons and put together fun activities to keep their interest. I still love being a seminary teacher. Let’s see if I change my mind after a few months.
