School resumes on Tuesday. To this point, I’ve been assuming some “switch” will trigger in my head. That I’ll flip out of “teacher in summer mode”, and it will sink in that I have 10 months ahead to write, fix lessons, and so forth. Except the switch hasn’t flipped. I simply have this unsettling feeling like I should have gone in to school this past week. Also, I had a dream that a parent came to the house to argue a grade I gave back in June.
So... onwards, I suppose. Incidentally, while doing some writing research (on ‘Persecution Complex’) I stumbled on the “Martyr complex”. It’s not quite what I thought, it mentions how a person feels they need to suffer for the greater good, and that things might fall apart without them. I might have a form of that. I wonder how many teachers do?
Item counts run Sunday (August 28) to Saturday (September 3).
Step Count: About 57,550.
Sunday was low, but the last three days I’ve had over 10,000. Bunch of walking around.
School Email Count: 22 (2 replies)
This is a new count I’m trying out. It’s the number of emails my work account receives during the week. Since I’m not actively teaching, it won’t include emails from students or parents but provides a rough idea for a teacher where I am; I’m curious as to how it compares with other jobs. Over the summer I was lucky to get over 2 emails in a week.
