At work, since I don't know when my surgery will be, I managed to get a day by day plan written up for the remainder of the semester. I still have a little work to do as far as handouts and answers keys but I am more or less prepared for someone to come in an take over at any point if they had to. I'll feel guilty if I can't finish everything I want to but I am reminding myself that I am substitute teacher even though I feel like and have the responsibilities a full time teacher. I don't get the pay or the benefits of a full timer (I really wish I had the health benefits and sick leave right now.) so whoever, takes my place will just have to manage like I had to manage. They can plan, mark and make answer keys just as well as I can. If anything they will be pretty lucky because most of the work is done for them. And besides, at the current speed of my provinces health care system, I'll probably get to see the end of the semester myself anyways.
I am torn about my surgery. Part of me wants this fibroid out. ASAP. I am in a fair bit of pain lately. I put up my Christmas Tree this evening and it felt like my legs and back were being zapped by lightening. I am going to request to be put on the cancellation list because of it. However, I have grown attached to the school I am and the students. I will feel bad if my students end up having three teachers in one semester. I want to stay so they can have consistency. I know what they should know. I am worried about them bombing someone elses' exam because I may not have covered something or covered something differently. I hope if I am not in, whoever is in, will use the exams I make. Even if I don't get the answer keys made.
Anyhoo, I should go to bed. Like I said, I worked hard today at school and then came home and decorated for Christmas. It looks cheery in my house!
