PSA: The Eye of the Needle Approacheth

[labelleizzy]

I'm about to embark on a three week intensive journey deep into the landscape of Waldorf.

I may or may not see and talk to y'all for the duration, I probably won't have time & energy to read LJ.

Here's the schedule: Oh, and did I mention my car needs a new radiator as of yesterday? BAH...

• This upcoming weekend: Still have classes in San Rafael, with its particular soul-quality and load of homework requirements
  
• Daily during the first week: Drive from Mountain View to Santa Cruz, and back.
  
• Spend most of the day intensely observing, and breathing in/living the culture of the 4th grade classroom and the whole school.
  
• First weekend: Still have classes in San Rafael, with its particular soul-quality and load of homework requirements
  
• Second week: Daily drive to Santa Cruz etc, except I should be actually assisting in the class
  
• Second weekend: I get the weekend off from my Waldorf classes to prep for my actually teaching a Waldorf class during the week. *inhale* *exhale* I can do this.
  
• Second weekend: Am currently planning a visit to the Nova Albion Steampunk event in Emeryville. Not sure I can pull this off; let's see how heavy the workload and prep time are.
  
• Third Week: Daily Drive to Santa Cruz etcetera, AND I'll be teaching the main lesson, on a totally new subject from what I've been observing. Whoa. AND it's something I only just learned myself, in my last Waldorf weekend class, AND I'll have to present it in a way that's appropriate for fourth grade Waldorf students, which I am not yet sure how I will do this.
  

Okay.

Short answer: I'ma be busy, and none of it, unfortunately, brings a paycheck. I'll be hermiting hard, practicing self care, and getting as much sleep and water as possible.

Still, I Love you all, send me an email if you wanna talk to me, or give me a phone call.

You can do this.

The drive down to Santa Cruz is very nice, actually. And, with median barriers installed through most of the mountains, not nearly as dangerous as it used to be. Drive the speed limit, and it's not scary at all.

Good luck.

I know you can do it. Waldorf fourth graders are generally really nice kids. As long as you have your information and are sincerely interested in teaching it, they'll follow right along. Love the topic and love the kids. You know how to do that.

*grin* thanks. I already love the kids and I havent even met them yet.

yes, the drive to SC used to scare the pee outta me when I was a young driver, and I remembered that fear for a very long time.

NP as long as I am well rested, well hydrated and well nourished, thank goodness, and I intend to do those very things assiduously.
