Drowning in Paper


Grrr I’m drowning in a sea of words. I know that I want to look at student perspectives of the use of dialogue journals, but I’m not sure to what end. I want to know what kind of impact they have on student-teacher relationships. I also want to know if they increase the students feeling of being listened to. The problem is that I’m not allowed to look at impact. I think I’m just making all of this too complicated and for that I blame the lit review. Maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad if my articles wouldn’t have printed in like 8pt font. Not to mention the multiple inches of dead space on the page. I know that I just need to buckle down and focus, but would someone please just give me my subtopics so I can quit trying to figure out what the heck they’re supposed to be?

Disappointed.

Ok, so where now... I guess it's comforting that the principal said that she wished that she had more positions open. This is why only having a handful of interviews sucks, you don't ever get used to the idea of being rejected for a job. I'll save my tears to shed, likely for the drive home and I'll move on, I'll persevere, it's what I do. So here's to the next one, to God's plan for me, may what's to come be better than what's here.
