Its Sunday afternoon. I’ve been at church all morning and I just got back from attempting to set up my media room at school. Tomorrow is the first day the kids are back and theres a weird tension in the office as everyone is focused on getting prepared in amongst the fact that half the classrooms are not fully complete.
My school has been getting a new auditorium built over the summer holidays and its proberly about half completed at the moment. It didn’t make the time schedule to get everything ready for the start of school. I’m still walking on a sand pit to get anywhere. My media classroom is about 3/4 finished. The desks aren’t arranged properly and my Macs aren’t set up. I don’t even think the software I ordered has arrived. Oh, and the internet isn’t working either.
I walked into my room this afternoon thinking I would be able to arrange the room a bit, move the desks around, maybe get some posters on the wall or something. The plasterer was still in there and so I pretty much plonked all my stuff on the table, looked around the room and decided its proberly best if I just left. There was no way I could actually get anything set up in there today.
To be honest, I’m not really too sure what I am going to do with the kids tomorrow. I have no computers and no internet. My media room is pretty much looking like a storeroom! I’m just pretty thankful that I have year 11′s and 12′s first up and we can maybe just chat about the holidays a bit and go through the unit outline. I might even get them to help me rearrange the room.
I feel like I could be alot more stressed out than I am right now. I’m not really prepared, the classrooms are not finished, plus I’m teaching year 9 computing tomorrow and theres no computers. I think I just have to laugh! But hey, nothing I can really do about it. Just have to give the whole situation to God and be flexible. He can worry about it. I was looking at the backdrop on the stage at church this morning, it said “His Grace is sufficient.. ” Thats so true I thought. His Grace is sufficient for me today as it will be tomorrow and His Mercies are new everyday. Theres no point worrying. I’m going to get a good nights sleep tonight and I’m going to waltz into the classroom and just leg it. It is going to be a fun day!
Been such a full on weekend again, with work, lunches and engagement parties. I’m about to leave to pick up people for my fourth church service this weekend. This week is going to be a bit crazy with the kids just starting back, lesson planning, ballet and vocal training, starting up and leading a new powercell (home group), visiting my old powercell to say goodbye and then church again on Friday!
Haha. I guess life is feeling normal again!
