nny | re: teaching

The trick to being a grown up apparently is just convincing everyone else to believe that you are; the trick to getting stuff done is apparently just doing it; the trick to coping is continuing to do these two things even when you're tired or pining for hugs or hungover or miserable. It's managing to be both gruelling and energising, interesting and repetitive, frustrating and so very rewarding. It's everything I thought it'd be and a hundred other things besides, and I'm not the best at it but that's allowed because it's my first year, and the things I could do better I'm making note of and trying. I'm pretty sure there are a hundred things I'm missing just now, and I'm half convinced that any moment the excrement will hit the air conditioning, but for now I'm bloody exhausted but happy.

I just wish I had more time for you guys. :)
