I pride myself on my stress free attitude toward most daily activities, but for some reason I was panicking this week. After reading "The Diary of Anne Frank," my final project with the students was to perform a scene of their choosing. This was no easy feet. I had to play director because I quicly found out that this wasn't the kind of activity I could just assign and let them run the show while I sat pretty and drank a latte. No, I spent a week working on this. We put our blood, sweat, and tears into the scene. The kids had fun dressing up and taking on different roles. They really understood the psyche of the characters in the play, which is exactly what I wanted out of the play. The only problem was, our classes kept canceling due to chorus rehearsal. I had to push back the play date several times. This was a terrible inconvenience for the history class that was going to come down to watch the performance. Then I had to reschedule with both my mentors. Prof. C ended up seeing the play but my other professor came on a FRIDAY before a BREAK during THE LAST PERIOD OF THE DAY. I was a little stressed for all those reasons.
Finally I have spring break! The only problem I have now is my fixed sleeping habits. I am extremely tired when everyone else is out and about. Lets suppose I do manage to stay up until 1am. I sleepily drive home and lay on top of my bed for a moment. I not long after I sit down, I fall asleep with my clothes on and possibly even my shoes. If my boyfriend tired to help me with any of my garments, I become agitated and even start to cry (So he says). The sad thing is, every morning when I wake up for school I bargain with the alarm to let me sleep a little while longer and yet the menacing alarm heckles and taunts me until I do finally wake up. On my days off however, I wake up at 6am (right on time!) and then realize I can sleep in. Now that I have NOTHING to wake up for I can not go back to sleep for the life of me. Then I become angry at the fact I cannot go back to sleep and bustle out of bed in a fury. That concludes my weekend. I hope you all do not have the same problems as I do although they are quiet comical now that I look back at it all.
