Hello there, everybody, 
This school year (2023-2024) is really difficult for me at the moment. There are so many new responsibilities that I’ve been encouraged to take on, that I’m now realizing I was never really going to be able to take on, on top of just lesson planning and teaching, but it’s also the year that we went on strike. 

Seeing as I’m scheduling this in the same year (2024), I am hoping that we did get some good things from the strike and that it is not going to have been for nothing? But… anyways, let’s move on to my recommendation for you today:

Hi there everybody,
At the risk of having my colleagues be mad at me for doing projects and not something else all year, I’m going to confess something that I’ve been feeling bad about all school year:

My older students this year (so I don’t outright out myself) have not really been doing much grammar since the beginning of the year. The positive “action” today is: it’s the first day that I am confident I did some grammar.

Hey there everybody,
I was so proud of myself for letting Positivity Journal Entry 0 to be published rather than let it rot in my drafts section until I finally gave myself enough courage to do it. It’s a bit difficult right now to find time to write.

Today, even though I didn’t feel like going to work, I did it. I also received a message from one of my hoodlums from regular classes last year that made my day.

Good morning, everybody! 
I hope your day is coming along well and that you’re staying as safe as you can be! In the meantime, I am facing the ‘unknown’ of the Work Force, as I have started to ramble about in several posts now. But I am going to try to ignore the uncertainty by diving into novels that I’ve been meaning to read, and by writing these posts to furnish my blog more!

Good morning, all!
I hope you are doing well, and that you are taking good care of yourselves. I’m not sure where I would be in 2023, but I really do hope that I’m doing well or at least hanging in there.

Future Me, you’ve got this! Hang in there!

Anyways, on one of the forums that I follow, someone introduced us to this particular website and I wanted to share it with you.
