A new beginning

      I always love when a new school year starts and how it is an ability to start all over.  A new apartment, new classes, new binder, notebooks and of course new pens.  I just love pens.  I always love meeting new people, because my first impression of them always changes.  And it is fun to see how they change as you get to know people better.  

      This school year will be different though.  I am working and going to school at the same time which I have not done before.  I have always been taking such a large load that I never really had time for a job.  But this year I am going to try it.  I have this great job where I am in the schools teaching and helping high school students achieve their potential.  So I have been reading ways to manage my time so that I can spend the time helping my students, but also making sure that I keep my self on track.  These last few years I have felt as thougth I have been missing something in my life.  In high school it was easy because I did sports and that was a way to get a break from school.  But these last couple years I would just go to school and never had an outlet besides working out.  But now I do! So this year will be hard, but fun.  I am excited to have something besides school to spend my time on.    

I'm back and I'm still Jane...

 

  It has been a while, but I am back.  So much has changed that I have thought of just starting a new blog, but I am still me, so I decided to keep the name and just move forward.  I am now almost half way done with college.  What I have learned and am learning this last semester is that you can't do it all.  If you keep going and going with no breaks you are going to burn out.  It is important to take time for yourself.  It is not healthy to always give and do, do something for yourself.  I bought something on a whim last week and I am still freaking out about it.  I bought something that I kind of needed, but I was not planning on it.  And it was fun!  Every once in a while you need to treat your self!  I am still Jane because I get no greater Joy than helping others, but you can't help others if you don't help yourself.  So treat your self!
