I didn't really realize I was working only 20-25 hours each week. I was still taking multiple naps, rushing to get ready for work on time, and felt like I couldn't take on any other responsibilities. Well, switching to a full-time job (again) seemed to be much more time demanding. I didn't realize how much time this was going to take, until after I started.
So, I've been at the new school for just over two weeks. I LOVE it! The students are great. The faculty is great. The parents are great. I have quite a bit of freedom of to how and when I teach things. I have 4 different preps and really only teach 4 out of the 7 periods. The day seems to fly by and I never seem to have time to look at the clock. I even spent this past Friday at a movie theatre with 150 students watching the ACC tournament.
Well, with all the good changes, it hasn't come easily. Matt and Kristin had their beautiful little girl last Sunday. I've been working from 7:30am until almost 5 most nights. Mike spent this week doing overtime to make sure everything was in order with Matt being at home and preparing his sermon for this morning. Last weekend I spent several hours planning and prepping for school and I haven't had time to even begin to gather my bearings. Mike is off to Georgia this weekend to officiate a wedding and I couldn't take the time off. Although I will miss all the fun, I am need of some rest and still have planning day after day.
So, with Mike and I both working overtime this week, we needed some rest. Yesterday, we did NOTHING. It was well needed. We rented Australia Friday night. It was a good movie, but not quite what I expected. Oprah had painted a false picture for me. However, I would still recommend it.
So, after rereading this post, I've realized I haven't recovered from the week. This has no structure and is too mush of a stream of conscience. So, I'll continue the trend by saying I am not a fan of the new Facebook. I'll also say that I am excited about March Madness, but have no idea who half the teams are. There are way too many big teams missing and this could be a VERY interesting tournament. I'll conclude by saying that I LOVE my job and I am extremely thankful for God's provision. Although I extremely busy preparing, grading, and earning the respect of the community, I know my load will lighten up soon enough. Three more weeks until spring break and 50 days or so until the summer.

"There are way too many big teams missing and this could be a VERY interesting tournament."
I'm just being ridiculous here...but I'm curious as to which "big teams" are missing from the tournament? (Not mentioning my confusion over there being "way too many" of them.)
My curiousity made me post this, no other reason. Kentucky is a major school not in the tourney, seeing as they are the all time leader in wins. And I guess one might include Florida because of their back to back titles recently. But in the grand scheme of college backetball they were by no means a major player in the college basketball world before those wins. Its not altogether shocking they aren't in the big dance.
This will be a very interesting tourney though. I have very little confidence in my bracket. I just hope UNC wins it all in the end, because that is all that matters. :)
