by nature i am a very focused person and try to operate in the most efficient manner possible. so, it brings great discomfort and an out-of-body experience whenever my job causes me to behave in a scattered and disorganized way. i get like this when i'm overwhelmed. too much to do, not knowing where to dig in and just START. i'm sure if i had had a hamster in my classroom yesterday it would have had some advice for me since i probably would have made it tired watching me surpass his "wheel skills" as i circled my room, going from thing to thing without really tackling the area i was briefly visiting. sigh. SO in true jonelle-fashion, i got out my notebook last night to yes, jonelle-peeps, you guessed it, PLAN. i am hoping today is much more productive, i'd really like to kick some "moving-to-a-new-classroom" ass.
