Exhaustion

The past week has been a challenging one for me. I have been lacking energy due to little sleep and lots of stuff to to. It's at the time of the school year and semester when all things start to come together into a storm of stress and sleeplessness. My final projects/portfolios and essays are due this week. Deadlines for job applications have come and gone. And I am in my last 10 days of student teaching.

Last night, after dinner with friends, I came home and crashed. My head hit the pillow and I don't think I moved until my alarm sounded 7 hours later. A sweet seven hours that have been in short supply. Today I felt a little more energized.

I guess this means I'll need to find a better routine (earlier to bed) when I have my own classroom next year.
