I have not even considered writing an entry lately because I have found myself inundated with work, and in the process, tired as a result of it all. To briefly recap any salient points that might have transpired in my life:
I am in the middle of grading 155 autobiographical essays. The sea of red marks on each paper is enough to give me a headache. If I had a white flag, I would hoist it in surrender. Each paper takes me about 15 minutes to grade. After an hour, I am exhausted. At this pace I will have their papers completed by Christmas time.
I am still teaching the youngsters at Talented Kids. Actually, let me clarify. I am their English speaking supervisor/play partner. Teaching is done in small doses, when I am not scolding them or chasing them around the classroom. Exhausting work. My respect for primary school teachers increases weekly.
I am still receiving treatments twice a week for my neck and back problems. I am seeing a man recommended to me by my boss. He practices "Harmonious Healing Services" and has been working with me for almost a month now. He is not a chiropractor, but rather, a muscle manipulator. He has me working on reprogramming my body and muscles to act in synchronization. I have also received light acupuncture treatments for the past few weeks. I do not feel an immediate difference yet, but he tells me it will take a few months to acclimate myself and get back on track.
That's about it. I need to get these essays done as soon as possible so I could relax, read a book, write, maybe take a trip. As much as I would like to get some writing done, my red pen is dancing circles in my mind, and I must resume my task of correcting grammatical errors.
Until next time...

Between correcting all the essays during the week and running after toddlers on the weekend, you sound pretty stressed. Try and relax every chance you get. The papers will get corrected!
