Writing

Aha! The vicious cycle continues.

Although, I just turned in my last paper and only have one final left until summer, meaning I will have much more free time. Now if only that means much more inspiration.

I have not written lately as finals, performances, and many other time-consuming activities have been upon me. I cannot blame my lack of posts just on time constraints, but I also just have not had much to write about. My mind has been on my work, the pile-up of work, the stress of work, when I am going to do my work, when I will have time to think about when I am going to do my work etc. I would bet that is not what any readers would want to hear about here.

As I said, I just turned in my last paper. This paper was a "Final" Teaching Philosophy for my Education 1600 class. I have written many papers in the last week, that I have procrastinated and had to force myself to write, but this one came easy. I do not have any exams today and I could have easily slept in, but I got myself out of bed at 9:00am and flew right through that paper without a bit of writers block. This seems like an obvious observation, but when I am writing about something I love, I can write and write for hours without delay, and I love to write about it. The more passion I have for something the easier it is to write about. (That must've been why my Heart of Darkness essay took me so long yesterday!).

Writing about my personal thoughts on teaching as a future teacher gets me so excited about my future. Even now, after I have finished and submitted the assignment, I can still feel the passion and excitement flowing from me. I feel as though I could discuss educational philosophy for hours. I won't do that though, I have other assignments to complete. But I just felt the need to share...

I am pumped and ready to prepare to be a teacher, and even more passionate about being one, so look out future students, I am coming and I am coming with a ***fire within me.
