Spring is just around the corner and I absolutely can't wait. I am so happy that the sun is out when I get up in the morning and is still up when I get ready to come home from school. This winter was really hard on me with respect to the seasonal depression. I was working some longer hours at school and felt as if I never got to see sunlight. This weekend we "spring forward" and it will stay light longer. I can't wait. Soccer and tennis seasons have started at school and I'm hoping to make it to a few games and matches.
Spring break is just a couple of weeks away but it can't get here soon enough. Of course I'm already thinking about things I want to do and my calendar seems to be filling up more quickly than I need it to. We'll see what happens this week before I make my final plans for spring break. I may need to take a step back and just stay close to home and rest. I need to get a boost of energy to complete the school year.
I'm gearing up to start major planning for my summer program. I hate dealing with new people in housing at the university. I have to fight battles I have fought in previous years. Seems like a total waste of time. I have a lot of new people in the picture this year, so I need to make sure I stay on top of the details. The next couple of weeks are critical in planning. Then, things will lighten up a bit.
I think I understand why I dropped all extra-curricular activities in the past. I have so much on my plate in the classroom as well as the added administrative responsibilities I have that I have little time for these activities. I definitely need to reassess that for the fall.
Okay, I'm going to take a lead from one of my friends and make a "to do" list here. I'm hoping it might encourage me to get my rear in gear and take care of a lot of these activities that need to be completed.
I hope everyone is having a great day!!!

Anyone ever ...
feel like they're going to jump out of their skin? Boy, the anxiety is hitting hard today. I'm not quite sure why, but I am jumpy and feel as if I am going to jump out of my skin. My hands are shaky and I'm seriously anxious.
The worst part of my feelings today is that I don't even know what has triggered them. I was fine when I got up and the anxiety has gotten worse throughout the day.
ARGHHHHH!!!! Why can't it be Friday?
Everyone keep positive thoughts for me!!!

What I've Been Up To
Well, it's been a crazy few weeks and I haven't been feeling great the last couple of days. Then, I started thinking about everything I've done in the last few weeks. I thought I'd just do a calendar review:
February 11 -- Job Fair
February 12 -- School
February 13 -- Job Fair
February 14 -- Engineering Curriculum Writing at VDOE
February 15 -- Engineering Curriculum Writing at VDOE
February 18 -- Teacher's Workday
February 19 -- Back to school and recovery from being out most of the prior week
February 20 -- School and chauffeur to friend shopping for French exchange program
February 21 -- School during day and class in evening
February 22 -- School and chauffeur to friend whose husband caught the flue and was in charge of the French exchange program
February 23 -- Back to school to help out with the French exchange welcome dinner (set up and dinner)
February 24 -- Back to school to watch "The Wiz"
February 25 -- School
February 26 -- School
Whew! No wonder I feel tired. It's been an emotionally draining time as well. I've tried to take some time for me, but it just doesn't seem to be working out. The positive thing is that the French exchange program is going well and everyone seems happy. So, I'm glad I could help out this past weekend.
I am looking forward to this weekend. I'm going to visit my godson and we're all going to a Cirque du Soleil show. My friends and I have decided to not do "birthday" and "Christmas" for us (the adults). We'll just find other events we want to attend and go. This is our first event of the year. I can't wait. I've been to one Cirque show before, but each one has a different theme. I can't wait to see how this one is.
I haven't had much time to scrap but I'm hoping that will change soon. My eye is on Spring Break at the end of March. I can't wait for some down time. I am making it my goal to complete my scrap room renovation and post a few pictures.
In case I don't get back to post this week, everyone have a good week and I'll chat with you soon!!!
