English Teacher Musings

Essays, unit packets, lesson plans, meetings. Then grading, reading, checking, monitoring. Man, I am overwhelmed--and that's just at work! Not to mention my family, me-time, all my extra-curriculars, and just some good ole' fun and/or do-nothingness. I think I got overly ambitious trying out some new things that I find myself where I was last year yet again creating so much from scratch. Yes I have plenty of loaned and borrowed (ahem, stolen) things too, but it was supposed to be easier this year. In many ways it is, but I must be doing something wrong--ah well, maybe I'll figure it out by Monday (Columbus day is good for something!)
