Too many thoughts
This week is taking its time getting done but I'm slowly making progress on various things. Yesterday I got an estimate for car insurance and I'll buy it tomorrow then worry about car registration after break. It sounds like the school is going to be pretty empty on Friday afternoon, I have no idea what I'm going to end up doing then.
I think I didn't sleep well enough last night as I spent most of the day feeling like I was going to fall asleep, which is never good. My body's just at that point of all that I've done during the past of feeling it and realizing okay, I've done it. I'm really looking forward to not having to be the grown up for a few weeks as its really tiring. Also I've realized that some of the things on my list for being I leave can wait. My holiday cards can be printed at my parents, presents can be wrapped there. I've done laundry and insurance will soon be sorted, those are the big ones that I have to do.
Wednesdays are when we have our faculty meeting and the first part of the meeting was about scheduling as the school is thinking about changing their schedule. One interesting thing of when they hired me is a lot of parts of the school are being examined and shifted; curriculum, scheduling, department coordinator jobs, how calendars are done and at some point technology. Its great to be a part of some of these discussions but its also showing me that at times this school isn't that great at big idea communication, they're far better at very personal interactions. But that's not why I cut, it was meant to be a lead in as today we discussed security measures for the school. One of my jobs that used to belong to a position that they spread out the responsibilities of is to organize fire, lockdown and tornado drills.
In the meeting we were discussing having a drill, creating emergency cards and things to be done, what can be done. It was hard and since I've gotten home, I've realized how much it got to me. I couldn't figure out how to lock the library door as I was feeling worn out and a bit stupid. Its an important conversation but one that's going to sit with me for a while as everyone talked about windows and door locks and hiding. Friday I was sitting at a table surrounded by students as I followed the news and feeling blessed that they were all safe, but realizing that other scary angle of what working at a school can mean. Its all tough.
Now in happier thoughts, I only have two more days of work and then three weeks of vacation and I'll be spending most of them with my family. I would really love to try and connect with other east coasters and am happy to do some traveling to see people. My parents are down in Southern Delaware and one of my brothers is in Southern New Jersey, and things are happily closer there than in the Midwest. Comment or email me or send me a tweet if you think there might be a spot for a visit as I'd love to spend some of my break with some millimuns.
