BLOG The Crabbies!

I do want to keep up on this better, but I am still not in the swing of fitting school into my routine, so thanks in advance for your patience while I get better at keeping up.

My goal in taking on school is to enjoy it rather than stress out about it.  In the beginning I did do a much better job than in my college days.  I read the material as it was assigned and I studied the notes as I got them, so that I wouldn’t cram for the test.  Great plan until the panic that set in just before the test when I imagined questions on topics that I knew I didn’t have a handle on. I found myself studying but not getting anywhere.

I am not sure how I did on the test, it WAS hard and there WERE questions that I wasn’t sure of, but I can say it was a great experience for me to go through.  I have always been pretty good about understanding that kids get  and shut down as far as what you can expect them to be able to do. BUT after my own experience I had a little bit more empathy - to the point that I told them when I could tell they needed a break and that I knew it because I had the same experience with my class.

AND I also have reaffirmed for myself the need for ME to have a CrabbieMaster attitude………not to let things get to me.

I will do shorter blogs more often. This is the new plan of the day!!

Next topic: Life is too short to learn everything the hard way.

Have a good day!
