Last week I forgot to write my blog out of a moment of absentmindedness and a time of pure anxiety. Everyone who talks to a Senior hears how tired, flustered, and busy we are. It is discouraging because when I place myself in the role of the objective bystander, it seems that Seniors are a bunch of lazy complainers who never get to work. However, we are working! We're actually working very, very hard. This year I have been reminded that "I can't do it all" countless times. Everyone is telling me I need to make trade-offs and limit time on certain subjects. However, this is very hard to do when you want to do your best in every aspect of life (including your educaiton).
Thankfully the Research Paper Rough Draft has been turned in. I confess, this draft is very, very ROUGH, but that was what I was instructed to do. I put forth great effort, especially with my outline. The outline made the paper writing a lot easier and on Wednesday night I only spend 6 to 7 hours on it. This is actually very good for me when it comes to papers. Next, I have to plan a new lesson for the kids next week. I look forward to my project each week. However, I do not think 8 lessons are enough to get them excited about drama. For instance, there is one class I have only met once with and that time I had to only discuss with them; they weren't able to do the exercises. All the rest I have taught 3 times. Everything now is in the planning stages, but hopefully in the near future I hope to extend my drama teaching into the spring. I am not certain yet, but before I reacha decision I need to talk with my parents, Mr. Tinkler, Mrs. Zion, and Mrs. Nail (my Senior Project Board Advisor). There is still alot to do left in this semester, but I am thankful that the research paper rough draft is turned in and ready for corrections. I am ready to make it perfect before December 6! :)
