Yesterday was a blast. I spent all day wishing Monday wouldn't come, squeezing every last ounce of weekend out of the one day I had. Part of yesterday was spent doing "homework." Work in preparation for an extracurricular event this weekend, work in preparation for my students the coming Monday, and grading that I didn't finish last Friday that is adding to my overall workload. I wanted to blow it all off and watch football. Last night was The Walking Dead season premiere, so obviously I couldn't work through that right? I wondered out loud if my principal would accept "mister this is too much" as a reason why I wouldn't be ready to teach today. Probably not.
I woke up this morning and realized we'd have a special guest coming and talking to all of our classes. Not only does that give me a small reprieve from work, but I get to sit and learn just like my students. Yes, I stayed up and finished what I needed to get done, but now I'm so tired I don't even feel like teaching. I know it's important and I know my kids depend on me. That's why I came to work. I just happened to get lucky today. Now I get to learn too.
