At last,
night turns to day
though I have not slept.
Stars in the heavens
Disappearing
Cold, lonely night
Alone in the dark
Endless time and thought
Waiting for light
‘Till with the sun’s
warm touch upon me
darkness hides away
I close my eyes
At last.
So Catherine took to the boys to California so she could do her cancer treatment. However, I am here; alone. I didn’t think it would effect me so quickly. It’s not that I didn’t know it would, I just thought it would take me more time. Like, oh they’re on vacation for the next week or two, and then it would kick in. However, sitting alone in the house is making me crazy, especially as I wonder if her and the boys are ok, and if they are safe, etc. The lack of knowing what’s going on and being alone is killing me.
Today was my first day as a college instructor. For anyone who may stumble upon this blog who doesn’t know me, I taught high school Spanish for the last two years. I loved it. However, coming to the college level as a graduate assistant and teaching undergrad classes was an intimidating step.
I guess if you’re a teacher, new venues may always be intimidating; at least that’s true for me. But once you get going, all the fears just kind of fall off and you do what you always do; Teach. The kids were good, and the class was good. Overall it was a pretty fun couple of hours (2 classes). I teach again on Wednesday so hopefully it goes well again. Cross your fingers for me.
