I might be working too hard… but I can’t take Saturday off.
I worry sometimes that I’m suffering from burnout.
I did it once before, when I was working nonstop for about four years straight with no vacations. After that point I realized the value in taking the Sabbath—Saturday, of course—and arranging to do nothing on that day. You notice how everyone schedules stuff for Saturday because it’s the one day we all have off? I decided I wasn’t going to do any of it. Absolute rest, like God intended. No nothing, unless there were any emergencies.
Can’t do that in the Teacher Education Program. Saturday is just another day of classes. So that means I have to pick another day of absolute rest… except I haven’t, and it’s frying my brain. So I’m going to make it MONDAY, dangit, and do NOTHING on that day if I can avoid it. Which isn’t easy to do.
