5:54 a.m. - I heard from Chase yesterday...something about walking/longboarding to Sherrard and trying to help out a friend with bail money. Then I get a youtube video from him last night. He uses videos to try to communicate with me, but I struggle to fully understand most of them. And he fluctuates from "screw the world" to "I need to change my life". And most of us have those feelings from time-to-time. The difficulty is spending most of your time saying "screw the world" and too little time on "I need to change my life." When there is too much time "screwing the world", there aren't many resources and options left to make "changes". So for most of us, we have to live more of a balanced life. We have to work, even though we'd really rather do something else. We have to complete tasks we really don't want to do, even though we would rather only do the fun stuff. It's just the way it is. And it's possible to not dwell on the "not fun stuff" to save up energy and enthusiasm for the fun stuff. Make the best of the stuff that's not so fun and then have fun with the fun stuff. Maybe it's called "growing up".
Today is activity day...not the fun stuff. I want students to have fun, but I don't have the appreciation or patience for the students that just want to be jackwagons. After "jackwagon day", we have an in-service....ALSO NOT FUN. In fact, most of the time in-service is excruciating. But then...I get to have fun! I get to officiate basketball with Marcus, who I haven't hung out with in awhile. And then I get to look forward to tomorrow and tomorrow evening, which is getting the camper out to West Lake. Last night after junior high volleyball (not fun), I picked up some firewood and lined the truck up with the camper. Doing those things last night will save me a little time after school tomorrow.
