The weekend after my tough week two was a three day weekend* (Thank Goodness) and my Love was coming from Coquitlam to check out this new village that he may be living in this year.
He came to Zeballos, we walked around the town a couple times, I showed him my school, we hiked up to the old mine (very cool), and he tried to console me (I was still upset over how bad my week had gone).
My original plan was to live in Zeballos full time. Most of the other teachers commute out to their homes on the weekends. My man talked me into doing the same thing. His reasoning was that I needed to have something to look forward to on weekends so that I could make it through my tough weeks teaching. Of course he was right (he'll love that I said that), and now we are trying to plan where we will live on weekends.
After seeing him I felt a lot better. I took Sunday night to search up classroom behaviour management strategies and I fell asleep stress but a little more prepared for Monday with my 6/7's.
*This district extends the minutes of their school day so that every two weeks we have Friday off. This was put into place last year in order to cut down on the Friday absences. Because we live in such isolation it can be difficult to get appointments and such done on weekends, so these Fridays are now here for the families to have a weekday where they can plan things that they need to have done in the city.
