Just Say No

I have been absurdly stressed during this week. It seems that there is not enough time in the day to get everything done, which is ridiculous because it's summer and I'm a teacher. But it seems that I have agreed to do too many things (yet again.) I look at the list of responsibilities for this month: training new teachers 20+ hours a week, taking a math class, recruiting for my soccer team, going to soccer practice, training for the marathon, and getting my apartment in order...no wonder I feel like the days are jam-packed.

Some people would say, figure out which one of these things you can drop, then move on to a less-stressed summer. But not me...I only realized that I had said yes to so much yesterday. I got up today ready to get organized. With my to-do list by my side and an early start to the day, I've even found time to blog. A little more organization (and a lot more unpacking) and I think my summer will be right back on track!
