Trying Out A New Routine



I have been feeling grumpy as hell the last couple of days because I am teaching a Summer class which I volunteered to do (a long time ago). It is not that I do not enjoy teaching... I do. I am just feeling out of sorts because I was really enjoying the less structured aspects of my Summer vacation.

It is stupid of me to get grouchy about this, so I have been devising a plan in my mind. Basically, what I am trying to do is to use this teaching time in a way that I will (hopefully) teach MYSELF something as well....

My goal is to teach myself to improve my a) patience, b) my acceptance of what is, and c) to put into action more of the PROACTIVE goals I have for myself. "A" and "B" are philosophical constructs that I wish to improve in myself. I think if I can make some headway on these I will be a better person for others and will be more content with myself. "C" is a more direct goal... in which I am aiming to think ahead (in a carefully prescribed fashion) so as to garner more time outside of work and inside work. I will try to flesh this out more in tomorrow's essay.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
