Rough Week

This past week has been really rough. Our little community here has suffered a great loss. The staff is all fairly exhausted and emotionally drained. I haven't been here as long as the others, so my role is more one of emotional support than personal grief. It's still pretty tiring. I am having on of those weeks where I feel like I just can't get ahead of things. I really enjoy my job, but I think it's going to take at least a year before I will be comfortable enough with the material and in the classroom to face a day without extreme amounts of time and preparation going into it.
