Just another Manic Monday.
Several of my Facebook friends, people that don't know each other in the least, have put up this actual post today! Isn't that funny? Monday energy is universal, or universally lacking, I suppose. You know, I looked back at my blog today, like I continually encourage my students to look back at their Writer's Notebooks. My objective in the classroom is for them to examine topics for expanded writing in class, but my objective was to look back on my Mondays and see if they are always blah. Well I'll tell ya what...in the summer, not so much, but in the school year, yes. The tone of the entries is not negative so much as VOID. I think my energy level is just so low on a Monday, that if I get through school, and then get home to do the "regular stuff," that is about all I have. Today was a "new" day at school too, as my student teacher started. This is a great thing, overall, and I know she will be wonderful as she already worked with me last semester as a practicum student, but it just felt like a "second first day of school," in a way. Karen B. brought in cheesecake for me this morning, and that was super duper wonderful. I have to say it gave me hope for the day, but it certainly does seem that morning cheesecake ended up being the highpoint. So, Monday, farewell for now. I attacked you, I prevailed, and now I am done...at least until next week. Is it too early for a Monday countdown?
