#feeling unprepared

Why do I even care?

I call my mental health team psych&psych (psychiatrist and psychologist). It’s just easier to call them that, especially when I see both on the same day.

Yeah, first psych is going on maternity leave. Kinda feeling really melecolic about it.

Kinda feel really unprepared for this given I didn’t take the needed steps to ensure psych 2 was aware she’d need to cover both of them (minus meds). I had each covering different things.

Doesn’t help psych 1 is being required to go on maternity leave earlier than expected. That adds to feeling unprepared.

No wonder I can’t focus on work for my classes. My mind is running in 20 million directions.

Not how I imagined what 29 would be like (birthday is Friday).

Feeling Unprepared

I knew the first semester would be difficult because the school, requirements, and students would all be new; however, I had no idea that I would feel so disorganized and unprepared. The semester is almost to the mid-point, and I still feel like I'm barely treading water. Thankfully, I don't feel like I'm hopelessly drowning (that was the week before school started). Still, I consider the years, courses, instructors, and practice assignments that have helped me get to this point in my career, and I wonder why I was required to write many lesson plans and unit plans without ever covering the material I was most likely to teach as a first-year college instructor. Was my knowledge and ability assumed? If so, why was I required to prove my competence and knowledge where other materials and lessons were concerned?
