I know I sound stupid in complaining about this, but I am not ready to start waking up early again for work.
I have had an extended summer vacation (Missouri gets out of school a month earlier than New York and New York is going to start after Labor Day - almost a month after St. Louis schools).
But it is always so hard to readjust to the time span of the day.
I am on day three of a retreat with my new school (which is going so wonderfully) and even being ready at 8:30 is a challenge.
How am I going to cope with waking up at 5, taking a subway for an hour and being at work before seven? I'm not really sure.
I would love to say it will be easy, but 3 months into a new routine (only half an hour earlier get up than before!) and I am still struggling :-/ but then I am really not a morning person.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck.
It's always so hard readjusting... and the time changes twice a year don't help!
DeleteToday both my sisters traveled to their school to setup their rooms. They are both realizing the summer for them is almost over. I am sure you will do great. Commuting here takes some getting used to, but it will become routine. I travel into Manhattan from LI on the LIRR and then the subway..Up at 4:20 am, and leave the house at 5:30..It is a long day...but after 10 years, I am used to it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, and all the best next week!
I think I will get used to it. I was out in Long Island for a teacher retreat last week. I was thinking that I couldn't imagine an hour commute from there, but then remembered that I will have an hour commute from home to school, too.
DeleteI think it will be fine... better than having to drive myself for that amount of time. I can read, veg, people watch, or do whatever. And I'm pretty much waking up at the same time I did last year (at least that is the plan) so I should get used to it (though it is really an hour earlier with the time change to Eastern from Central).
Good luck to your sisters on their new school year!
