Much Better

Ok. I am doing much better now. I have gotten everything back under control. My last posting was when I kinda lost the grip and realized how much stuff I have going on. Nothing is horrible. I am going to have to shift away from the rink on Mondays so that I can work more at OCC. It is going to be crazy here without Jenny. I am very happy for her, but it is going to be sad to work in that office without her. Boo!!
I have been in the computer lab a lot in the past two weeks with two of my classes. They have been making iMovies. It is this really neat program on Mac (all of LBUSD are on Macs) where you can take still pictures and add effects to them so that it is like they are moving. It is actually called the Ken Burns effect. (bet the paid a lot to call it that too!) The kids wrote a script and then they added music and sound effects. Some of them have come out really really awesome. I am excited. I am going to use them in my portfolio. If I can get them off the Mac's that is!! They had a really good time.
Student Teaching is going well. I am not having too many problems. I am definitely tired of being judged constantly, but that will never go away, so I just need to get used to it. Anyway, I pretty much just wanted to put a new post up here so it wasn't mopey complainy Dorsie!!

Too Much Crap

Ok, so basically this is going to be a bitch session and a getting all the stresses out session. I have too much stuff going on and I am stressing out. It isn't that any one this is a big deal, because it isn't. I am doing fine in everything, but everything together is starting to get to be too much. I guess to most people its not that big of a deal. But to me it is. I've been working at least three jobs for the past year. None of them over lap, but this is what my days look like:
Leave for School at 7:30. Teach until 2:30. Then I go either to OCC (which is a 1/2 hour drive) or to the rink (20 minute drive). Then I am at OCC until 6 and at the rink until 7 on Mondays and 5:30 on Tuesdays. So I pretty much get home around 7 each night. Then I have to translate my lessons, grade papers and figure out what I am doing the next day in two classes. In between this time I also have friends and family who are all asking why they never see me and laying guilt trips on me because I don't have time for them. Well, I'm sorry, but I don't have time for me.
Oh yes, and did I mention I have a boyfriend. Well sorta. He's not here and he doesn't have time for me either, so I guess it really doesn't matter. And on top of all of this, in April I have to start rehearsals for a show that I don't get to see, but get to put in another 10 hours a week of "volunteer time". At least if OCC fires me, I'll have some more time to work for free. I won't be able to pay my bills, but hey, at least I'll have time to make more intricate lesson plans. My head hurts.
Ok I'm done with my pity party. At least by doing this here, no one actually has to listen to me when they have their own shit to deal with. Wow. My blogs are rarely happy. I'll have to blog sometime when something good happens. Hopefully I won't have to wait for very long.
