Falling behind

As the school year dwindles down, I feel as if time goes by faster than I can manage! Like at the eighth grade field trip, it's as if we were racing against the clock. In a matter of school days, we have 9 days left. That means a four day school week this week, a four day school week next week and finally three half days. It's over! My first year of teaching is over! Looking back I think I did great. My students loved me, most didn't even realize I was a newbie, and for all I know they may have done amazing on the FCAT {Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test}

I've noticed that lately I measure my life by events or tasks at hand. When I need to put something off, I say "after Nicolette's wedding", when before it was "after my wedding". Then, when I am stressed, I count how many things I need to do on my "to do list". Which reminds me, one of my major things to do: write!

Here is what I intend to write in the next couple of weeks:

• Eight grade field trip
• Insurgent by Veronica Roth {second book to Divergent!}
• Game of Thrones by R.R. Martin
• Feather pens
• Romance/Contemporary novel standpoint {Julie James, Rachel Gibson, Christie Ridgway}
• My wedding details!
• How to make a stunning album on Shutterfly

I have a long list to work on... but good news is I will do it when summer starts!
