I know its been awhile since I posted last. I didn't know until the day before school started, but the district has me working as a long term sub again. I'm filling for the school's only chemistry teacher, who's out on maternity leave. School started last Wednesday, and it has hit me like a ton of bricks. It's hard to go from a fairly laid back summer of crafting to a full day of teaching, let me tell you. As the only chemistry teacher, I have no planning period, a total of 7 classes and 224 students. I don't think I'm going to be able to learn any names, ever. I might know about 6 kid's names after a week, and I taught several of them last year when I was an algebra teacher. Thankfully, most of my students seem pretty decent. I haven't had any issues yet, no detentions given, and only one class will be on a seating chart due to too much chatting during lecture.
Since all this started, I haven't been able to craft anything, except for the bento box bag I'm finishing up for myself (possible pictures when I finish). For the last week I've been going to work, coming home, taking a 2 hour nap, cooking dinner, watching a little TV, then going back to bed. I'm hoping that I can build up some stamina soon and not have to take a nap every day. Its been crazy, I didn't even take naps when I was in pre-school. Nap time was when I stuffed the tip of my blanket in my pants and pretended it was tail and I was a skunk, like Flower from Bambi.
Until next time!
