May 15: the ides of May

Things that are on my mind:

  • I’m sleepy
  • I got an email from a student’s mom that started with the greeting “Hi Teacher Robyn!” And now I want to be called Teacher Robyn instead of “MISS!”
  • I had a kid who was my student in another semester one down to my room after school and ask if he could just work in my room. He said he knew that I stayed late a lot, and that my room is nice because it’s dim and quiet. He worked there until I had to leave, and I thought it was awesome that he felt comfortable enough to just show up after a couple months and just work there.
  • Things are still feeling overwhelming and I still feel like I’m struggling to get back to normal. My muscles are super-tense, my heart has been skipping beats again, and all I want to do is eat junk all the time.
  • I’ve been writing tonight with my thumbs rather than a keyboard and I’m falling asleep every few sentences.
  • It’s been more than 5 minutes, so it’s time for me to go to bed.
