summertime blues

Summer is over. I am sad about it. I really wanted this summer to be some kind of wonderful....and it was restful and fun, but not AMAZING.

I went into work yesterday. This was the 3rd time this summer that I have gone in---teacher work week actually doesn't start until next week, but the new teachers are here this week. I was supposed to have training yesterday and today, but today's got canceled. I was going to go in anyway--it was my plan to go in every day this week. However, I got really sad about summer being over so i decided to waste the morning at ellwood's instead.

I definitely did not accomplish all I wanted to this summer. Which just means i need to plan better for the year. My main problem is that I try to do only school during the school year and save all my projects/fun/extracurriculars for the summer. And I get more done when I have more to do. I work best under pressure--what can i say?

So my new plan is to plan better. The first baby steps are 1) getting up at 6 am daily and 2) saving money through careful tracking of my spending. I can do this. I am going to focus on these baby steps until october 1st. Then i go full-speed ahead with a social agenda.
