I love how weeks of
I love how weeks of relentless math education can really smack me up the side of the head. I became giddy today after the Board of Education failed me in the schedule. Due to conflicts, inefficiencies, and probably the confluence of some astrological thingies, I have the morning off Friday. Because I have so much mental tunnel vision, I really had no idea what to do with the extra time. I'm going to wash the dog, drink a full pot of coffee, maybe make some breakfast. Laundry sounds exciting.
I get stressed about my capabilities in math every damned day. My brain is somewhat overloaded, and my laughing has a slight hysterical tinge. I think incontinence is just one equation away. I made a resolution quite a few years ago to not quit something out of fear of the unknown, but I'm discovering how much math I simply don't understand. Today was a great discussion, but for sections of the formulas, I could have sworn I was listening to a Peanuts teacher. We were figuring out the equation for optimum area for soda cans, and all I could hear was "mwah, mwahmwah mwah mwah." I am that round headed kid, just waiting for someone to pull away the football.
Writing about my worries gives me a perspective on how silly it is. My classmates are great, my brain hasn't been this stretched since I first started learning Russian, and I have donuts every day. My dog can hold it in for over twelve hours, and we're having the housewarming party this weekend. I will make it through the training, I will plunge into teaching, and I will laugh about this time later on in life, regardless of the outcome.
