- No blog updates in over a month
- Being sick for almost 3 straight weeks
- Feeling guilty about missing 1 day of work due to the aforementioned sickness
Excuses for the unacceptable:
- I'm half way done with my 4 week-long assignment as a "long term" 1st grade supply teacher at an inner-city school. Much busier and much more hectic than I had originally anticipated, but I am adapting and doing a pretty good job.
- A constant bombardment of germs from 29 6-year-olds who, as adorable as they are, don't understand personal boundaries and thus often crawl up onto my lap and cough/sneeze in my face while proudly showing me their latest achievement...or just complaining about how so-and-so pinched/hit/kicked/etc./etc./etc. them.
- Um...this is probably due to the fact that I hold myself to a higher standard. And because I don't feel too sick to work but the good ol' conjunctivitis and yellow/green snot is signalling contagiousness and holding me back.
In short, I've been either too busy or too sick to post anything worth posting over the past month. The search for a permanent position continues, with high hopes that something pans out quickly as time is really running out. Also, flight tickets home for Christmas must be purchased before the weekend. Dates coming soon.
