*It's 10:45pm and I'm heading to bed; I need to be up at 5:45 to get work done since I was too exhausted to do anything after work this evening...lovely...

Who needs sleep...?
*I haven't been sleeping very good lately. I wake up exhausted and my jaw hurts (apparently I'm developing this horrible habit of clenching my teeth while I sleep...). Along with this my eye has developed a slight twitch on the upper lid; I can only assume that it's due to all of this as well. Today I about hit a wall with teaching and work. I think that traveling so much between London and here is starting to get to me--which is worrying because I have a feeling I won't be able to visit Adam in London as much as I have recently. I'm starting to notice that I'm not getting as much done as I should be, and this could have dire effects on my over all teaching. I don't know how I'm going to find a happy medium between having a social life and maintaining a decent standard at work; how do teachers juggle between a life and work? At first I was doing nothing but work, and now it seems as though I may have slipped out of that (though this was a shortened half term so everything was crammed into a short span of time). I don't want to NOT have a social life, but I also want to continue advancing with my teaching skills. I wish they would write the book 'Life and Teaching For Dummies: A Simple-man's guide to juggling teaching and a life. Talk about using that 'Easy' button (sorry British Folks if you're not familiar with that--it was an advert for Staples [in the US] about a year or so ago)--I could use one of those right about now.
