So I am not going to lie, these past eight months have not been a walk in the park. I have definitely had my ups and downs and right now I feel like I am starting to come out of a really LOW, low. Looking back on it now, I have been like this for quite a while without even knowing. I am telling you this to ask you for your help. I not only want to get out of this so I can really experience true joy that my students or friendships bring but I need to get out of it to help heal the wounded relationship between my roommate and I.
Luckily, I have students that help day by day. I have mentioned Saturdays are difficult and that still stands. I sometimes feel like I do more babysitting than teaching and that wears me out. After four long hours, I get to have two hours of rest before I finish my day with a three hour class. Normally a three hour teen class would put me over the edge but wow did I luck out. I can’t get enough of them!
Today I got to spend three hours laughing and having fun with my students. I feel so fortunate to have this bright light at the end of my day and to have three hours to escape from the way I have been feeling lately.
Please keep me in your yarps. I need all of the help I can get.

Erica, I think of you often and will continue to do so. Sorry for not staying in touch better. Keep your thoughts on the happy times with your students and friends and try to remember that you are doing great things, even if you don't see it. Hopefully you will be home when I go down end of June/beginning of July to see our Ava.
