I am sitting in my study the sun is shining, magpies gargling and the kids are preparing to make pavlova. Perfect scenario right? Except I have a million thoughts running through my head and I am feeling somewhat overwhelmed. So in the hope of overcoming this feeling I have decided to blog, not as a procrastination technique, but as a way to compartmentalise my thoughts so I can hopefully overcome this feeling.
Module 4 is sitting there, calling out to me “read me! read me!” I am behind here, I know I will regain my pace and get back on track, it is just overwhelming knowing that I am behind – the situation itself is a roadblock. Even just writing this blog I am reminded of my own motto – Get ‘Stuff’ Done (GSD), although it really isn’t ‘Stuff’.
The case study, which we worked on last night and isn’t due until tomorrow. It will be on my mind until it is finalised. I know I need to box it up and leave it for now – sometimes easier said than done. I need to just be more like Elsa with this one and ‘Let it Go’.
Lori’s Musings! I have to admit, I love reading Lori’s work and learning from some of the best. I am fortunate enough to know Lori through the Canberra TL Network through which I learn so much from. Lori’s blog has reminded me how far I have come in my old position with collaboration and how I need to find my place, as a leader, in my new school. I am now asking myself, how can I maintain my own leadership growth in my new role? I realise this is a ‘not now’ thought, but I am just so darn excited to implement what I am learning and be more of who I am. I also understand I am a change in my school and implementing myself needs to be incremental if I am to be embedded successfully. Patience, my friend, patience.
Then there is the upcoming assignment which I want to do well in. Now that is a bit of a snowball thought isn’t it? This one definitely can sit on the shelf for now, but not too far as I am sure I will need to make some connections soon enough.
Thank for indulging me in my ramblings I do feel better. I acknowledge that I have got myself into this and I a lot to do but…
