Anxiety

So I had a great Christmas break- It was so nice to just be home and be with my family and just relax for once- now its back to the real world, and I have to say, I'm having a bit of anxiety when I think about our upcoming block.

My anxiety doesn't have to do with the possibility of teaching Grade 6s (which is quite scary on its own)- what scares me has to do with getting to and from my placement. I know that the counsellors are trying to work it out so the individuals with rides are put with those without so we can carpool. However this is difficult since I am one of a very small number of public student teachers- and many public teachers (as well as the Catholic) have applied for out-of-region placements. I did not, as I hope to teach within the DSBN (at least to supply teacher for the next year). Now, what if my ride is one of the people that has been selected for an out-of-region? Many schools are not within bus routes (except for Glenridge elementary which is down the street from me), so I'm getting a bit anxious about having a ride when out of region placements start. I know I'm probably being silly and I might be worrying about nothing- but this is a real concern for me, and I felt like maybe posting on my blog would let me just get my anxiety out and it would make me feel better (which hasnt happened yet lol).

Again I'm probably worried about nothing, and I am worrying FAR TOO EARLY...but I just wanted to get this out...now hopefully I can just forget about it and worry about it when (or if) the situation arises.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break- we all deserved it, and I hope the time you all had to spend with your families and friends was great.
