This school year has been especially trying. The last few weeks have been extremely difficult to get through. The new subject matter is difficult to comprehend and exceptionally difficult to explain to a 17 year old with no background in business. Coupled with a terribly written textbook, it could be the perfect storm. Thinking back, about this time last year I was dealing with the same feelings about my SDAIE class; feeling completely inept, unprepared and ineffective. Although our department is wonderful, I still feel quite alone. This lag between labor day and veterans day is very long, as Penner says, "it's the dog days of fall". Will it ever end? Any words of wisdom to help get me through?

-bring ipod to school and listen to your favorite tunes during prep and before/after school. sometimes really loud.
-pull pranks on your co-workers
-i pray in the car to and from school. focuses me for the day, gives me a goal, and reminds me who's in charge.
