Smoother

I think the increased dosages are finally taking effect. Today nothing managed to freak me out. There was snow last night, but not enough for cancellation, so I had papers to grade, and grades to input. Classes were planned and most of them were easy concepts for the students to master (and feel good about mastering).

So, when a senior administrator just popped in unannounced with a clipboard and sat down and started taking notes, I just went on with what I was doing. I am the teacher, it is my room, I have a plan. Plus I pee in each corner weekly to stake my claim. Later the assistant principal came by and I mentioned that visit, then he reminded me that today was the day I specified for my official observation evaluation, which he did. Again, I didn't feel a whole lot of pressure. Becoming more numb to it all - my job will eventually be secure, I just have to stay relatively sane and not stress. Easy to say, not so much in the action.

Tomorrow is a few more easy concepts, prepping kids for a quiz on Friday when I am out. Got to put together a folder for the sub. No pressure. Saturday is ready - got all my copies made, presentations are ready. No pressure.

Trivia was small tonight - just me and two others and we did respectably. I like trivia night - I can be myself, as smart as I want to be and it is not judged or held against me. People understand me, and we all have a good time.
