A funk

I've been posting for the past hour about the past three weeks of my life. The reason why I got on Blogspot was to write about my day TODAY. Not all the past stuff. So now, I don't even feel like writing about why I wanted to write in the first place!

I'm just in a funk. I think it's because I was thrown back into life here in VA so suddenly. I didn't get a chance to recoup or prepare myself for reentry into adulthood. I'm going through culture shock and I don't like it. I went from being at the Castle and getting very little sleep with very great amount of activity to my teaching life. It's not fun. At all.

I taught chapel today. I was so excited about what I was going to do and then everything about my plan when wrong. I forgot the DVD in PA. Then, I find out that I can't get it in an email, it has to be on YouTube. YouTube is blocked at school, so I have to work with that. Then, on Tuesday, I find out that we can't have chapel in the sanctuary because they are putting down new carpet. So, now i have to find a place that i can get internet, can have a projector and computer for powerpoint and that can fit 48 middle schoolers. It was such a headache.

I thought I had it all worked out. Then, in the middle of my lesson, the wireless internet lost its connection and we only saw 3 mins of the 9 min video. SO I have to remember what it was talking about and tell them all how the rest of the dialogue goes so I can use it for my lesson. I felt like it was all out of control but I hope the kids were blessed. I hope it really worked on their hearts. It was another reminder from God that it's not about me. It's about Him and His word.

I only ate a bowl of cereal, some goldfish crackers and an icecream sandwich all day. So, I was starving, cranky and not feeling so well. I went to Baja Fresh (so much for getting skinny) and parked in a puddle. I didn't find that out until I stepped in it. It was been raining torrents of rain all day. If this was all snow, we wouldn't have school for a week. It's been that much. Oh to live in VA.

And all I want to do now is talk to a boy on the phone. That's my desire right now. It seems like that would be the best solution for my funk. I'm so discontent. It may look like I'm totally fine, but I'm not. Not right now.

But...there's no boy to talk to on the phone........it's 9pm and I'm going to bed. Maybe I'll sleep the funk away.
