The past two weekends I have gone home to spend the weekend with my family and attend various family events. This weekend, I am able to enjoy some "me" time and focus on all the things I have to accomplish in the next few weeks. I know it is a time to be thankful, and trust me, I am oh so very thankful for what I have been given in life.
However, there's still room to get a little overwhelmed at times. As of this past week, I only have FIVE more classes until the semester is over, but when I look at my schedules for what still needs to be done, I don't feel like there is enough time. Chapter exams, discussions, readings, projects, weekly assignments, all on top of two final projects I already received the instructions for this week. It's so easy to get overwhelmed with a workload like this, but I try to focus on the positives rather than the negatives. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to be receiving an AMAZING college education and achieving my goal to become a teacher. It's mind boggling that a year from now I will be nearing the end of my student teaching and hopefully be offered a job where I can make a difference in the lives of my students. Time is going by so fast and I need to remember to soak in every moment of this wonderful experience because it's not always going to be here. In the words of Dori from Finding Nemo, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming."
