In college I spent a lot of time spontaneously doing things with friends because I knew the time for those shenanigans was limited. I'd put off homework and buck up for some late nighters. No biggie.
And then there was student teaching. Talk about a reality check. It literally consumed my life for the most part5th grade with learning, planning, and grading. One of my saving graces were the declared "homework free nights" that the wonderful guy I was dating and I would agree to invoke.
That got lost somewhere along the way this past month and a half. There haven't been too many nights of legitimately taking a break from school. I'm working toward being able to do my planning and such in a way that really and truly opens up my Sundays to nothing school related for that chance to recharge. And I'm learning that it really is okay to leave school by a set time every night (and to take work home, but even cutting that off at a certain time of night).
Even God rested after He put in a lot of work.
