First, I love the movie Working Girl. Melanie Griffith, Sigourney Weaver, Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Joan Cusack. The 1980's. The hair. The makeup. The clothes. So many great things in one movie. See below:
Second, teaching is hard. People tell you it's hard and they're right. I am working 10, 11, sometimes 12 hours a day and that's just at school! Then I come home and work some more, planning for the next day, correcting, re-typing recipes, shopping for food, etc. And yet, I'm still behind on things I need to do! I have a mountain of things to grade, my classroom is unorganized and not really decorated the way I hoped it would be, and just a million other things. The good news is, it gets easier. The first year is supposed to be insane. I am really looking forward to the day I have it all together, like Melanie Griffith does at the end of Working Girl.
And now I am going to listen to "Let the River Run" by Carly Simon- the 1989 Academy Award Winner for best Original Song and theme to Working Girl- and hopefully feel inspired.
