We just finished our first quarter of the school year and now it's time for the dreaded Parent/Teacher conferences. I never have been excited about these. I realize their importance, but that doesn't make me excited about them. That is just part of the job that I've chosen, so I will make the most of the conferences that I can and use the free time to try to get work done.
As I sit here waiting for parents to stop in to discuss their children, I thought I'd take a minute to write a bit about what in the world has been going on. All I can say is that life is crazy busy and I'm about beat. Thankfully though, I've been able to rest on the weekends and even last night I slept for a long 11 hours. (Thank you Nyquil!) I've also been able to get in quite a bit of reading lately, thanks to my long commutes to and from the chiropractor in Seoul. It takes about an hour and a half for each trip, so I get about 3 hours to read each trip. I enjoy that. I also enjoy my back working properly again.
October is always busy and seems to go on forever. This year is no exception. We've had our annual carnival, bonfire, end of the quarter grades, parent teacher conferences, volleyball practices, volleyball games, and cross country meets. Volleyball finishes up next weekend, so I'll have a day to recover, then it will be time for basketball to start. I have enjoyed my time working with the boys volleyball team and will be sad that it is ending, but I am very excited about basketball season. It is definitely my favorite time of year.
Throughout all this business and my laziness, God has been faithful. I am so thankful. He supplies rest and encouragement exactly when it is needed. He has given me wonderful friends and coworkers who daily inspire me to be better and teach me how to live a God-filled, God-focused life. Thank you Lord!
The girls I was teaching to run the scoreboard during the guys game. And the boys volleyball team. It has been so fun to coach them!
With one of my favorite girls, who stops in to visit everyday during 7th period!
