Day 8 of March Break. Despite a massive list of “to do’s” and goals for this much-needed mid-year respite, I’ve only just begun to scratch a few things off and am already feeling guilt about time misspent. Writing a blog post was certainly one thing on that list, in addition to renewing my Google L2 Certification, prepping my final units for the third term, and doing a video course on Adobe Premiere Pro.

Will I ever have the chance to sit and read my book without feeling like I should be doing something more productive?<\/p>\n
I’ve always valued my professional development so highly, so it’s really hard for me to admit that I don’t particularly want\u00a0<\/em>to spend my personal time to study for my recertification exam. I am not particularly keen on developing a rubric when it seems like everyone else is enjoying themselves on a tropical beach. I can’t bring myself to start that Premiere Pro course because I’m afraid it will end up being like every other online course I’ve started this year and didn’t finish.<\/p>\n Is this just how it’s going to be from now on?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Day 8 of March Break.
