Hey there everybody,
I trust everybody is doing well! Ever since the school year started, I’ve been meaning to get SOME positivy journal entries going, but I somehow never got the time to? And now that I’m very close to the end of the first semester – when I have tons of things to do, here I am, sitting down and trying to write something.

Today, even though I felt overwhelmed by the work, I sat down and decided on the weight of each class work that I’ve been giving my students for the first semester.

Context 1

This year, the first semester ends on November 6th or something like that. And while I’ve been up to date with my grading – sort of, I only just finished the first part of the first Unit’s project with the students, and who knows if it will be okay?! Anyways, it’s been a source of stress for me and I haven’t been sleeping very well – or rather, it’s been making me so stressed that I’ve required a lot of sleep recently (other than being incredibly sick).

This morning, as usual, I arrived earlier to work, and I sat down to see what I had actually accomplished. It really helped put the semester in perspective, I think (I hope?!), and I was able to place some weights to the work they’ve submitted to me. I worry a bit less, even though I still shudder at how many more grades I have to put for the project (about 3?).

That is gonna have to be all for me today,
I’m gonna finish my lunch and also do some more corrections, hahaha #sendhelp
