Merry Christmas to me, I come home from school for winter break and I got a cold and I think I also have an ear infection. Yesterday was spent on the couch watching #bobsburgers and I thought about reading today but that requires too much brain power to ready for long. But all things considered I still have a roof over my head, supportive friends and family, and a job that is steady and regularly pays me AND I have off for weekends AND holidays. Amazing. So I may feel like poop, but it鈥檚 not the end of the world, and there鈥檚 still plenty to be thankful for. #firstworldproblems #firstyearteacherproblems #thestruggleisreal #stillthankful https://www.instagram.com/p/Brxhhnul8-gnedXZYycUgNW4ttCQqUiVMbMjTc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h9wh97d4j3xu

So this is Winter Break...
You know, everyone said, "Your first year, just survive." I know the year is only halfway done, but I really feel like I am more than "surviving". No, not everything has gone perfectly. I have helped some students too much while not helping others enough. I graded some assignments too easily while grading others much too strictly. I got a little too irked some days and got a little too serious with my students.
I know none of these things are necessarily "good" or "bad", but they are the things plaguing my mind as I begin my 2 week sojourn. I keep replaying moments this semester and just keep thinking, "Man! I really wish I had done that differently." I keep comparing myself to my students' (sophomores) freshman year teachers, whom they all love and adore. I think I have built some really strong relationships with my students this year, and there are many things I am proud of. But despite the fact that I feel like I more than "survived," I am hesitant to say that I am "thriving".聽
I still feel self-conscious. I still feel like I am only half-a-step ahead of my kids at times. 聽I still can't believe people trust me to be alone with these kids all day and actually teach them something without corrupting them too much. I am stuck in this struggle between feeling like a professional and hoping nobody figures out that I really am not as good as they think I am.
Well, this turned into a pretty negative post. Sorry for the ramble. I am VERY excited for break as I have a long list of personal "to-dos" and some resolutions (personal and professional) to set and share.
Happy Break, Tumblr! It is well deserved my #education, friends!
