I found that one thing. What I learned, just now, is that it’s important to find that one thing after a big transition. I’ve been freaking out, often, since I’ve been here in Memphis. Wondering if I really made the right decision, can I really teach high school students English, will I ever feel like…
Today….It’s ME!
Day 27 -Day 29 Before flying was as common as it is now, when we would pass the airport, my mom would say, “Look. Today, someone is flying somewhere on a vacation or to visit someone. How exciting!” Sadly, it was never us. We didn’t fly for the first time until in our twenties. Nevertheless,…
The Past 4 Days – DAYS 23-27
DAY 23 – Saturday Mixed a little bit of relaxation with homework. After orientation, I had to turn my brain off. Friday night I was able to JUST relax. Saturday, I had to remember that I’m not here on vacation, but this is school. Not just school, a master’s program, that requires me to maintain…
Behind the Counter
Day 26 Eleven days with a headache and cough. It was this morning that I realized things weren’t normal and not progressing as a normal cold. After some expert medical googling, I came to the conclusion of the likely diagnosis of a sinus infection. Cue urgent care and antibiotics. Mucinex and Tylenol extreme sinus. All…
RIP…While Passing By
Day 25 I’m sure they had family. I’m sure they lived a certain life up to that moment. They were important to something/someone. I can’t get these thoughts out of my head as I pass by two deer that appeared to have been hit by cars lying dead along the highway. I have always had…
Lord, IF it’s You…. (in progress)
Day 23 -24 Peter walking on water. This miraculous , assuredly life changing event, was captured differently depending on which gospel you read. On one hand, the notion of simply alternative perspectives is an obvious answer to the difference in tale. Yet when we peel back the initial simple answer, we see that how each…
Too Tired To Write – Day 22
Orientation ends… Monday classes begin… Tapped. Out.
When Nothing Is Familiar – Day 21
When most people make a life change, it’s subtle. What I mean by subtle is, everything in their life doesn’t all change at one time. When people change jobs, they do so right in their hometown. When they start their new job, although the job is new, their surroundings are still the same. They still…
Prince
Day 21 Realized I didn’t write .. despite thinking about it all day. That’s progress right ? Prince has a lawsuit in progress headed toward settlements despite being dead .. think on that. Settlement relating to a 2007 YouTube video and the concept of fair use .. crazy! What’s the legacy?
Working Through – Day 20
You would think I’ve been here for months already, and just working through these days, trying to understand, cope, adjust, make a home. It’s only been like 2 weeks. The hard part is trying to see who else is feeling the way I’m feeling, without letting them know that I’m feeling these things. I look…
