Day 55:
The Mrs. asserts that I am incapable of existing in quiet. This stems from the fact that I do not, ever, engage in an activity without some sort of background noise, whether it be music, talk radio, or something of the sort. She claims I am afraid of being alone with my thoughts.
As you might imagine, I deny all accusations.
These were a few of my thoughts on the way home from picking up dinner at Trader Joe’s…
-Man, I’m tired. I can’t imagine how weary the wife must be after a day of subbing AND giving 3 tutoring sessions.
-I thought it wasn’t supposed to rain until this weekend…then why the cloudy sky today? Wait, remember, and enjoy the natural environment.
-I can’t believe today was her (my student teacher’s) last day. Did I do my best to prepare her? Who am I to carry a title of Master Teacher? This is only my 6th year. I can do better. I can be better.
-Then why not?
-I entered this profession eager to make a difference. I aimed to become a professional. I do not want to leave, but am preparing to depart per the state of the district and state’s financial situation. (I am angry over the mismanagement and incompetence, but know that at the end of the day, I can really do nothing but respond for the sake of my family.)
-I wonder what lies beyond the river bend.
-Hmmm, Thousand Oaks high school appears to have a sporting event tonight. I wonder what it is…
-I wonder what time I’ll make it to bed tonight.
-I wonder why a lot of things….
And most of the time it is to music. But I must admit…
I wonder why…
Today I learned that I think louder than I thought I did...and that even when I try, I cannot smother it.
What thoughts are motivating your learning?
