Expecting the unexpected

Wednesday

3/2

First day of teaching ESL

Well last night I had a great nights sleep and it helped me cope with the day today. I'd like to say I went to gym but I didn't.  I'd like to say I took a lunch but I didn't.  I'd like to say I had a coffee break but I didn't.  While this years motto is to... Breathe I haven't taken a breather today- in a physical sense anyway.  However I did have little pep talks in my mind.  

I guess rest is a physical thing as well as an emotional and spiritual recoupment.  Tonight I had an unexpected class to teach and tomorrow Im being briefly observed.

These are all patterns now.  One has to expect the unexpected or at least be willing to try if and when these things are sprung on one.  

I still don't feel like I know what I'm doing but I know the kids are responding well to whatever it is that I am doing.  

I'm going to end this off by encouraging you to rest when you can and mentally give yourselves pep talks- they can do wonders! 

Love,

Phoenix and Sarah
