Werkin to appreciate change
Ok...ok I realize it has been two long months since I've last published my words. Oooops, sorry..life has somewhat gotten busy or maybe I haven't been home enough to write my daily thoughts.
Change - is inevitable....its always occuring, now at the pace I say we may possibly be able to control. Well my change is again happening ever so fast for me. I take and welcome change but I also know what comforts me and what settles me.
Before I get to what changes are happening with my life - let me recap my race..
I did accomplish something grand, something fantab for ME! I ran and finished BROAD STREET! I ran 10 miles, nonstop...it was a great somewhat indescribable feeling as the last mile and a half or so were a struggle for me to finish. It wasn't that I was at the point of dying but I think in my mind I said ok the farthest I've ran before was 7 miles I can walk..but a friend and my legs got my across the finish line a running!
I have ran three races since, one Im ashamed at...lol...Central Park has more hills and hills and no air really circulating as I like to think that I wasnt prepared to run that 10K! But I did run the Wall Street 3 miler with ease and a race down the Jersey Shore last wkd 5 miler, the hill at mile 4 slowed my time but still it was good to mee...so my running is still there..
Vball....hhhhmmm...part of me thinks I want to take a break, I dont think I look at it as quitting, Ive never really quit anything but I just need to step back and come back in the fall and appreciate the game more and it being a team effort - as lately Ive lost that love I usually carry for the game...and Im sad to admit that!
Back to change....I have decided as of last week to give it one more year out here on the EAST COAST...Jersey City will be my address for at least 12 more months, it was a tough decision as I miss my family, my aunty, devin, my niece and nephews...did I mention my family...yeah...
The change within Jersey City includes - A NEW JOB - I got a lead teacher position in the city...I'll be one of those morning commuters rushing to get to work not paying attention to a damn thing other than themselves...wait I take that BACK! I won't rush to work, Im not one to rush, I luckily only have to take one train that has two stops then walk 6 blocks from the world trade center site to my JOB! I am super excited to be a lead teacher working with a method, way, philosophy that I used for two years during Graduate School. I promise to not wear that city look of blacks and whites with no color in their weardrobe..blah, NOT ME! *lol*
The new job officially starts AUG 27!
I gave my resignation today to my boss which went fine, I think we both knew I wasnt planning on coming back to my current school. Im a assistant teacher who has been bored out of her mind that past 8 months..love the kids, I will miss my lil indians, some, I say SOME of my co-werkers but not enough to stay..the kids yes I will miss dearly, you grow, or rather, Ive become to so attached to some of them...their gestures, their accents, their smiles, their touch, and their various styles of learning....
