Everything seems to go horribly wrong right as the school year starts
I already knew the start of this school year was not going to be a fun one since I’m teaching a new subject but everything just hit the fan all at once. I’m low on cash since most of my summer was spent recovering from surgery. My girlfriend and I had already planned for the last week of summer to be a vacation to Mexico. The day before our trip, I have my first epileptic seizure in 5 years. Thankfully we could still go on vacation. While on our vacation, I had a second seizure. Now she is over stressed thinking I’m going to keep having them, I’ve had to schedule more doctors appointments around my already busy schedule from recovering from surgery at the start of summer, and now I have to schedule a 5 day EEG 1 month into the school year. So much for planning shit. I can’t even drive myself to and from school for the next 6 months. I have to force my girlfriend to wake up with me at 6am since I’m a HS teacher. I can’t drive to my busy schedule of appointments, work, sports, or anything thanks to this bullshit. I barely have time to grade anything for my classes and barely have time to even plan anything. I feel like a first year teacher all over except now I can’t even do things by myself.
