yesterday, after dropping the bomb to my current boss that i will not be returning after christmas break, i travelled out to west valley to meet my new class.
the precise moment that i crossed the threshold to enter the classroom, not only did everything that i have to get ready for january 4 come piling down upon my head, but a myriad of other things, too.
like the fact that i am playing the piano for my current school's christmas concert tomorrow and i haven't practiced any of the music.
and the fact that i'm going out of town saturday morning and don't get back until the day before christmas, and i've not done one single iota of christmas shopping.
and the fact that i have piles of junk to sort through in that classroom, a new curriculum to become acquainted with, and a car to buy.
i won't be able to go in until the 28th and begin my classroom overhaul, so i've decided to put off all anxiety until then. christmas presents...meh, i'll just get them in l.a. choir concert...meh, who cares, i'm sure i can wing it, and i'm leaving anyway.
stress, you are officially suspended for twelve days.
