TGIM!
Am I the only one? Thank God it's MONDAY! I admit it... I like Mondays better than I like Fridays. Ready? Here we go.
When I wake up on Monday mornings I feel extremely refreshed after spending a day or two with only a few responsibilities to complete, none of which involve whining teenagers speaking incorrect grammar. Jumping out of bed early on Monday morning comes much easier than jumping out of bed on Thursday, Friday, or even early on a Saturday. After spending many, many hours with my students and coming up with engaging lessons to keep everyone challenged yet not overwhelmed on their particular academic level is downright exhausting, and that doesn't include the staff meetings, planning time, testing, grading, duties, on and on and on and on. By the time I get to Friday, all I can think about is my bed. The thought of happy hour with friends or co-workers comes to mind occasionally, but following that thought is the thought of my sweatpants and hot tea, which is much more inviting. By the time I'm home from work on a Friday, my other hard working friends are doing just that- working hard, which means if I want to have any kind of a social life I have to wait. And wait. And wait. When they finally get finished with work, I'm on the brink of sleep. Fridays are such a tease. But not Mondays. Mondays absolutely fly by at school. I'm alert, I'm rested, and I'm refreshed.
Eric Thomas introduced me to the term "TGIM" so all the credit goes to him. He is a true inspiration and encourages people of all ages to succeed by working hard. He says dreams are just dreams unless you actively work towards them and he let's us know that work is the key to success. I feel as though I am the most successful and the hardest working when I am talking to and teaching the bright young minds around me all day. I am lucky to say that I truly enjoy working, and come Friday, I'm just plain tired and don't want to wait around. Today was a great day, Monday.
Do yourself a favor:
THANK GOD IT'S MONDAY!
