Hang onto your hats, ladies and gents: Spring break is finally over.
Yup, traumatic.
Tomorrow is back to "regularly scheduled programming": practicum resumes, and so to commences the lesson planning, marking, teaching, and working - and working galore. For context, between my student teaching and my gig working in the boarding program of my old school, I'll be working 16 days in a row.
Looks like the next couple weeks are going to be a grind.
As for tonight: I'm working until midnight. Then it's home, get a couple hours of sleep, and then teach 4 classes.
Then come back and work until midnight again.
Mondays are looking like they might be a struggle.
I suppose the best I can do now is keep my head down, chug a lot of coffee, and do my best. In some ways, it feels like I'm burning the candle from both ends. I'm hoping I'm up for the challenge.
Inevitably, this too shall be fine - and this too shall pass. In reality, it's one month of hard work, culminating in a final day of practicum on May 3rd (assuming there's no interruptions to my schedule, which I'm determined to make sure is the case).
In reality, there's lots to look forward to, once May rolls around. It's shaping up to be a good spring and summer: I just need to push through this next month first. People have survived far more intense, far worse set ups - I'm sure I can do the same.
The work? It starts now.
