Hate late?

I got married before the academic year started and I found out I was pregnant during the mid year break. Not that I'm making excuses, but suddenly there are more things to prioritize, and sadly, it's not all about my career anymore. This is the year where I've used almost all of my leave credits for errands to change my legal name in different government offices, preparing for future plans, taking care of the husband and the home, and of course the life-changing symptoms of pregnancy.

I then find myself having a difficult time waking up in the morning, getting through the day without tiring myself out, and staying asleep at night. As a result, I tend to submit lesson plans and other documents later than expected. I admit my attendance in some meetings and other activities get compromised because there are chores or events for both families to attend to.

I try my best to start on my tasks a lot early on so I won't be bogged down by too much work. It also helped that I still have the documents from last year that I could refer to. It made things so much easier to accomplish. It really is difficult to be a teacher - work is not just confined in the classroom. In fact, I find myself spending more time with it outside work hours and all the way until the weekend. It really is just the passion for teaching and children that will fuel you to get through the day and finish your tasks on time.
