Thank you so much for your commen...Dear Anonymous,<br /><br />Thank you so much for your comment!<br />My girlfriend would certainly agree with your sentiments!<br />I have been looking for a good routine when it comes to planning, but i keep having to change it, because the routines I find are not good - neither as far as routines go and in their actual effectiveness :)<br />I am trying something new though: i ditched the paper and am going to try to do everything on the computer. Better for the environment and less weight to carry on my back. I only wish all my students did the same, perhaps then I could make out what they write to me (having said that i should mention that their handwriting is still better than mine).<br /><br />I did submit once to the New Yorker, was clearly rejected, but it was but one attempt and it was not even fully edited. I think I know better now. I was hoping that this could become some sort of outlet for my writing, I am not sure how I could otherwise submit to any sort of publication, on-line or print.<br /><br />Any suggestions?<br /><br />Thanks again!!!<br /><br />Mr. TMr. Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873311180259512137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134218836690434702.post-20392217002734516812010-03-04T01:12:31.238-05:002010-03-04T01:12:31.238-05:00I love what you have written about your journey an...I love what you have written about your journey and the way you see NYC. The way your attitude changed within the few paragraphs, you really captured the way a New Yorker feels about their city. As a New Yorker I know that once you feel that you truly own this city your attitude towards it changes, you really begin to understand the whole love hate relationship. well done!<br />Pardon me for not being more eloquent in my comment, it's late and i too, often stay up late doing work. <br />As a person who once allowed their career to take over their lives, i have to say MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF!!<br />I don't know your relationship status, but if you are in a relationship make sure to spend time with your partner, romance is wonderful. I have to say that instituting a weekly date night helped save my marriage. It was tough at first but worth it.You seem devoted to wanting to become the best educator possible, trust me as someone with experience, time will sharpen your skills. time will give you the experience necessary to compare, change and improve. <br /><br />lean on those that care for you and make time for yourself. <br />And lastly, i cannot say enough how important it is to find a routine when it comes to lesson planning and work in general. (i dont think i mentioned that i am a teacher as well)<br /><br />I think your writing is fantastic! Have you ever submitted anything to any magazines? like Time or The New Yorker? you are truly talented.<br /><br />keep on truckin! I look forward to future posts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
