Let's start with sleep.

Hi. This is my first blog? We'll see how long this lasts.
Welp, basically, I'm hoping to find a way to write, share, vent, and figure out my first year out of grad school and into the classroom.
Yes, this first year is on the verge of being over...but better late than never.
But it being April now, I guess I can start by sharing with you words of wisdom that I wish I had known back in September. Let's start with 2!
1. If you too are a first year teacher (or, I guess, a first year anything), never forget that even the worst moments have an expiration date. In other words, that thing you are dreading will END. You will get through this. (I tell myself this once a week now and it's surprisingly reassuring.)
2. 8+ hours of sleep helps. A lot. Don't ever lose your sleep. It's just not worth it.
And on that note, sweet dreams for now. -Nitzan
