Shut down...

So, sometimes, my body gives out on me. Sunday afternoon and evening was spent feeling o so ill... Monday.... sick, but still fulfill all my responsibilities for Republic Day... go home and go to bed... Tuesday: fall down the stairs (twice) then teach at school all day, get things done. go home and fall asleep before 7 only to wake up at 7 the next morning. today; feeling like crap still. my whole body hurts. i could really use more sleep, but i know i need to do things. I need to be a person. not this shell that sleeps a lot. ::sigh::

I feel so dead.

Catching my breath

So, it's a new year, a new semester, and soon, a new house! I'm really excited to move. It will be great to have my own place and from what I've seen of it so far, it's really nice. :-)

We are starting our 2nd cycle of classes and so I've begun my lessons. I only have 33 teaching periods this semester, but a good deal more students. It will work out. Always does.

My father is currently having a bit of a rough time. He has been back in NY since the beginning of December and recently found out he has lymphoma. We'll find out later this week what stage he's in, but he's currently in a lot of pain and just doesn't sound the same. It hurts that I'm so far away while this is going on.

A friend of mine passed away earlier this month after battling brain cancer for 4 years. It's wierd to think I won't read his e-mails anymore.

Life is always changing and always moving on, and all I want is to be able to stop and catch my breath for a moment. Sometimes I feel like I'm not meant to be an adult because it's all too fast paced. I enjoy being able to take time and look at the stars and lay out on the grass. It's pretty fantastic. But I never really get that chance. I like to have picnics. I like to enjoy the little things. ::sigh::

Time to get back to work. only two more lessons today and then hopefully I will be moving. YAY!
