Bed in the P.M.

You guys: this is a huge day for me. Today, I am going to bed before midnight: my first step towards regulating my sleep schedule to be more like a normal person's. Actually, my first step was actually probably the waking up at 5:30am every morning. Normal people don't go to 10 hours of work in a row after four hours of sleep.

Teach For America is slowly eating away at my soul. These are long-ass days. However, I know that the moment I see my kids for the first time, they will regenerate said soul. They will also probably drain me.

I can't wait.

Today, I completed my Student Acheivement Plan for the whole summer. What that means in non-TFA terms is that I completed a detailed plan for all of my lessons for the next five weeks -- the duration of summer institute. This plan includes all the objectives and goals that we have for my 4th graders in Math, Writing, and Reading. I feel like such the teacher right now...it'll pass.
