truly wild how driving really does become like piloting a mech after a while. like it sounds so car-bro-y but the car genuinely does become like an extension of your body. your muscles are simply making the correct micro-movements to perfectly manouvre a giant piece of machinery through a constantly moving maze while your brain is busy singing karaoke. you can physically feel when a gap is too small for your car-sona to fit through, like a cat putting its whiskers into a crevice. your brain is suddenly able to do on-the-fly s=d/t calculations in a milisecond and tell you exactly how quickly you need to move to avoid an oncoming vehicle while turning across the road. why does driving unlock the unused 89% of my brain

Crazy thing about #healing #recovery Small Victories is when you'll have some shit going on that's like, saying this would involve admitting how you used to be doing. You know? Like hey guys good news I'm gonna change my bedsheets this year

last year i taught four periods and one of them was doable and the others i was usually soaked in sweat being screamed at/threatened with violence/sexually harassed/etc and my one good class period was the first period i taught. i would always end that class thinking "if all of them could just be like this i could maybe survive this". and right now all of my four classes are easier than that one class. it's still early and things could change but i think it's a combination of my management skills being much stronger from day 1 and a different group of kids with slightly lower needs that i am much more equipped to handle. like there were kids fistfighting on their way into my classroom on Day 1 last year. now my issues are a kid flipping his friend off across the classroom and two other kids who can't stop giggling. once again i am girl who is going to be okay

i can tell i'm a second year teacher and not new* anymore because whenever my new colleagues are losing their minds over something ABSOLUTELY worth losing their minds over (example: 7th grade class sizes nearing 40 with not nearly that many desks per classroom) my urge is not to join them but to roll my eyes and go "you knew it was Title 1 when they hired you"

*being a second year actually puts me in the more veteran half of teachers at my school site😭 i know that is not the norm at all but again, urban title 1 school

my knees and feet hurt so bad though😭 and my throat is so sore

[wilderminds]

you guys. today was so easy and fine. maybe (knock on wood) last year was insane due to both being a first year teacher and circumstances beyond my control and not just the reality of being a teacher???

i was so productive today!! went for a run, meal prepped my lunches, did a ton of laundry and dishes, cleaned my apartment (not quite a deep clean, i'm trying to do that every other week but i swept/cleaned counters/etc), washed my hair, got some work done, and finished registering for my fall classes. now i'm going to put a frozen pizza in the oven and watch some TV lol
