As I sit here in my bed on a friday night at 12:13 am I start to contemplate my emotions over this week. There are 2 that seem to have reoccured the most, those being; excitement and disappointment.
What I look forward to everyday, what I hold on to through my grueling classes, is that I will be going to Black Lake Elementary and seeing the cutest little darlings. I'm excited to help at work stations, excited to get bombarded with hugs, excited to see the faces of kids with no bigger issues than not receiving snack. For them, life is so simple. Play, run, eat, laugh! These kids inspire me to help, to be a happier and more care free person. These kids leave me with such overwhelming happiness, I can't even describe it! Being surrounded by specimens with such energy is so amazing. It's only been a week and a half, and I can't wait to learn more about these incredible first graders.
My disappointment leads to more personal stories. But school also relates back to my feelings. I seem to be disappointed when I forget about a quiz, or fail one. When I realize I didn't finish my homework, or recognize that my teacher is definately going to be a hard ass the whole year. Disappointment sets in when things don't go as planned. When someone steps out of character, and does something you never would imagine. When your fairy tale ending, even your end of the day ending, does not fall perfectly into place. This upcoming week I'm hoping my excitement and giddiness will overpower my other lackluster emotions.
This weekend is needed, and I'm EXCITED (see already excited) to sleep in tomorrow. I'm going to relax, and do what I do best, procrastinate on my homework! I'm also going to read my new library book, and go to Borders and spend my whole Sunday there. Because that's what makes me HAPPY. The next 2 days should be promising, and hopefully I will wake up feeling refreshed and much better than I do now.
Remember people, smiles are contagious. So if you kids think I'm some lunatic in the halls smiling at every random I see, then so be it. Hopefully you will learn to spread your smiles to other people as well.
Have a good night and make a blog!
Liana, you amaze me! Keep smiling because you never know whose life that could make a difference in!
