close to dropping out!

I was so close to dropping out of the program this weekend. Really, is all this work worth it?
The answer is, YES.

I was just able to sit down. My nanny's husband had a heartattack so I am home early and with the kids. THe problem is today I had an asynchronous remote lesson or whatever and literally couldn't get to the computer to post. Now it's too late. Oh well.

I am starting midsummer night's dream this week and next week I'll start Night which I am so thrilled about. Genocide is my thing. On top of that, I am waiting for news about my book from a publisher. The editor told me he really, really likes my book but has to wait to make some decisions with his editing partner. I guess it's nice he likes it. SO I find out in the next couple weeks. The book is about genocide, the loss of language/discourse, and string theory. How weird is that? I wrote it last year and I am wondering what to do with it if this publisher doesn't publish it. I only want this publisher!!!

Furthermore, my classroom is going well. It's wonderful!!!! I am having so much fun in there that I wonder where the work went. It's very hard work, but really, other than some tweaking here and there, the students seem to be happy, except for one who consistently has problems in all her classes. I am working with her. She actually lights up when she sees me and likes to talk, and all that, but when it comes to doing work, she is very inconsistent. I'm thinking she will like this new unit, and some days she has her work, but she has so much on her personal life plate that I don't know what to do. I think she likes my consistency though. I am probably the most consistent thing in her life now. So, I'll be helping her during office hours.
