Waiting for Godot

So, today was the start of the ten day window for my Distinguished Teacher Recognition evaluation. I teach six classes every day, so with today's six in the bank, the evaluation team has 54 more opportunities to pop by. No pressure...

It's not the actual evaluation that is all that bad. It will happen when it happens, and it will either go well or it won't. Can't change that. It's the anticipation. That's the part that truly sucks. 

It is a little like Waiting for Godot. I'm standing there by the tree, being told Godot will come tomorrow. So life happens- the whole action of the play happens- while we wait. 

Stupid Godot. 

Today, I had good stuff. Tomorrow, I have a thing planned for my afternoon classes that involves "Hello, my name is" tags. I'm really doing my best, most creative work of the year right now. I'm knocking it all the way out of the park, in fact. 

Just waiting, though. That Godot fella had better show.
