rEd WarninG!
Filed Under Daily
My Garmin Fenix Pro has been showing me red warning signs all week. My sleep trend has been extremely poor. A combination of stress about my contract, falling slightly behind in my teaching, and an unexpected minor cough has contributed to a strange mental state. I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night and having difficulty resuming sleep properly. I am functional, but I have been trying hard to avoid any delicate situations and have kept email communication to a minimum.

My main class, ‘2nd7’, has already completed 6 Multiple Choice Questions after 5 weeks with me. They told me that no other teacher has done any MCQs like I have. The students get their scores quickly and they also have the corrections online. I try to take away all the stress; I give them more time than required. All I want is for them to learn something.

Finally, my contract with this private school seems to have been normalized. I was a bit worried about my transition into the private teaching sector, especially given that they are under contract with our national public teaching system. Indeed, I left my last contract before the end of its term, refusing to complete a third replacement because it was too far away from my place.

Someone left 6 beers near the trash bins, maybe they moved out and did not have time to finish them! I will try to drink one beer per day, that will be my mental challenge of the week.

I’ll try this Basic Fit for a month and see how things go. So far, it is very nice: it’s easily accessible, close to my home, next to my favorite stores (Action and Lidl), and the huge space allows people to have their own space.

Anything that makes my everyday life simpler and stress-free is gold. I do not care if it costs me a little bit extra; my time and my mental health are my priorities.

I threw away my indoor chili trees. They started to smell and all kinds of little pests joined in. It was also tedious to carry them out each day in the rain and the cold weather.
