Well, my Week 1 assignments for my online class were due by 11:30 pm. After being completely unproductive yesterday, I felt a little pressured today. Apparently, as usual, I was stressing about nothing. I submitted my assignments a little before 8:30. By 9:00, I had a notification on my phone that a grade was posted. To my surprise, I got 50 out of 50 points. Now I have a chapter to read and write a 5-8 page paper about what I got out of the chapter, plus read the chapter for the test Tuesday evening. Friday night I was thinking that I may not have to do homework Monday. I have apparently procrastinated too long. Writing the paper itself probably won't take more than a couple hours. The long part will be the reading. That makes it sound like I don't like to read. I love to read! The thing is, I don't love to read just anything. I love to read things that interest me. The first couple articles I had to read this week were not interesting; fortunately, the other two were. Now, let's hope the human growth and development chapters aren't boring.
I had no real lesson or epiphany today. It doesn't happen every day. But I know that God loves me, no matter how long I procrastinate or stress about writing papers or other homework.
Have a happy Labor Day!
I started this blog to share my journey following God into graduate school and a new career in education. If you struggle with listening to and following God, join the club. Maybe something I go through can help you, too. At the very least, you'll know you aren't alone. If you're interested in the thoughts and ramblings of a future middle school teacher, you are in the right place! Oh, by the way, you never know about me; I might blog about nearly anything. Feel free to leave comments!
