I spent a fair amount of time yesterday immobilized in fear. I went to school with the intention of doing my lesson plan and ended up sitting there for about 4 hours doing anything but working on it. I just couldn’t get myself to focus and actually work on it. After a while I decided to come home and work on it there, which of course meant that I took a nap and further procrastinated for a while. I’m a little homesick for Minneapolis and the US which is hard. I’m also nearing the end of this course and I’ll have to figure out my next steps which is stressing me out a bit. At this point I’m really just trying to finish the course and figure out what’s next once it’s over. It’ll be sad to not see these people anymore on a regular basis. I get sick of them, but it’s been nice to be involved with something again and I’ll really miss that. I didn’t end up finishing my lesson plan, but I got it mostly figured out so today I’ll spend some time finishing it up before I teach. I feel like a pro throwing things together last minute now thanks to this course so I’m not very worried. And I am excited about getting a teaching job and settling down somewhere for a little longer. After today I will only have one more assignment and one more day teaching. After Wednesday I’m basically done! Woohoo!
