I was dealing pretty well with the darkness of my morning commute, or so I thought. Just this morning, I bragged to my teammate that I wasn't affected by the dark mornings that returned this week.
This afternoon I felt differently.
It may have been morning number 4 for getting up in what can only be described as peak darkness. It could have been that I was spending so much time convincing myself I was fine.
It could be that with March comes the crazy time in middle school. The kids who've been squirrelly all year are even squirrellier. And then, some of the kids who've been just fine take on a new personality.
Many factors are zapping my energy.
It's all part of the cycle of the school year. Plodding along through the early morning darkness only means that the end of the school year is in sight.
Even so, I look forward to the sunrise on March 31. It will occur at 6:53.
Teaching in March is not for the weak. You have captured this well here!
