First tears of the semester.

Please join me in praying for a 2 hour delay for tomorrow. 
As much as I talk big about being brave and fearless,
I am terrified. 
I barely see my husband when I work 40 hours a week at Family Video.
After 6 weeks of intensive classwork, which will be bad enough,
I will be working 40 hours a week student teaching, and 40 hours a week at Family Video for 4 weeks.
And then 40 hours a week at school and 25 hours a week at Family Video for 4 weeks.
I don't know if I can do this.
I am dreading it, literally. 
I act pretty tough about it, but I have never wanted to quit anything more in my entire life.
I just want to have a life where I do more than work and sleep.
My mom keeps telling me it's just 2 semesters. 30 weeks, split up by a summer, so I should just do it, it will seem like nothing looking back.
But it doesn't seem like nothing now.
Class hasn't even started, and I've already cried once.
This is going to be a really, really long 15 weeks.

  1. I will be praying for you this semester Julie! Reading your post about how busy you will be just overwhelms me, and I remember student teaching minus the working hours. So, I really can't imagine just how crazy you will be, but I hope you have a really awesome teaching experience!! Where are you student teaching at?

  2. PS--I had many tears throughout my student teaching...for reasons such as having really bad kids to just feeling overwhelmed. It's quite normal, don't feel bad!
