Once every 2-3 weeks, I’ll have a day where, for the life of me, I cannot get up or out of bed and I end up sleeping for like 14 hours straight. Today was one of those days. Resultantly, I didn’t get a whole lot done. I’m trying not to worry about it; my first day of classes are tomorrow and I have all the materials I need for them already prepared. Perhaps it is best that I got some rest today. That said, I don’t have all of the materials for Thursday/Friday ready yet, so this will mean more work for later. It is what it is. I did manage to set up WhatsApp groups for each of my classes in order to share the links to our respective Zoom meetings, but I have a nagging suspicion that somehow, 1/3 of the kids won’t figure it out. We’ll see.

Adam, it’s good to recognize that what you are doing is HARD. It’s a challenging job in any district, never mind that you’re in a foreign country, apart from family and friends, and, oh yeah…there’s a pandemic forcing you to teach virtually. Give yourself a LOT of grace in the coming weeks. You will bring what you have to the table, and hopefully the students will appreciate you. Those that don’t will be missing out. Best of luck!
