Sleep... ah how I love thee! Lately, I've been feeling more often than not a lack of energy to get me through the day. Once I get to work, I'm okay. But its the dragging myself out of bed (rather off my sofa) and getting out the door that seems to be toughest. My prayers have gone from meaningful heartfelt prayers to, "Lord, please let me get through another day..." I continually have to remind myself to not be so self critical. But its so hard when lately I've felt so unproductive, inconsistent, unorganized, and behind schedule. Sometimes, I feel like its the story of my life...
On a better, more fulfilling note- I am so proud of my students. So many of them did so well on their last exam. Some kids went up by as much as 30+ points from their usual exam scores. There must be something about Parent Teacher's Night and the approaching Christmas holiday that gave some students the extra incentive needed to come to tutoring, study a little harder, and overall take a more serious look at their studies. Its moments like this that makes me feel like all of my hard work as their teacher is worth it. :)
