I am beginning to feel the pressures of being a first year teacher, so much to do so little time to do it. This is magnified by the fact that on top of teaching, I am coaching cross-country, and on top of all that, I'm still adjusting to a new style of life in a new state, in a community that is far different to the one that I grew up in. As a result of all this, I haven't gotten the time to post anything here.
However, now it is my first day off since I've started working for the district, which feels like it has been 4 weeks instead of 12 days.
As for the past 3 days, there is nothing really new to report on. Thursday and Friday were exhausting, with early XC (cross-country) practice, school than two sessions of XC practice each day. Friday after XC there was a movie night to raise funds for a few students going on a school related caribou hunting trip (Ironically my star runner is one of those going, and its on the day of the first meet!). After the movie, I went to the open gym, and then came home and hit the hay hard.
Saturday has been an easy day so far, I've done NOTHING at all to do with school (Except for hold a cross-country practice). I look forward to resting for the remainder of the day, it really feels good to have a weekend.

First year or not every teacher feels stress at the start, you just get used to it. The second year will be better, you will know where the stress is comming from and you will have more confidence in your abilities to handle anything. Keep positive and nothing can really be harmful just unpleasant.
