Restraint

Showing restraint is difficult, especially as I start this new years resolution of eating no sweets. Of course the things you cannot have are the things you crave. I know that the benefits of restraint are going to far outweigh the agony I feel right now. I must endure and persevere. Agony? I act like what I am doing is monumental or significant. Really it is not and I am over exaggerating! But in this moment right now when all I can think about is eating one piece of chocolate, agony is the word that comes to mind.

It's hard having students who are truly hilarious. I hate when they are acting out, doing something they are not suppose to, and I find it so very funny. Sometimes I just try to mask my amusement behind my work or I turn the other way but more times than not they catch me laughing. I am really going to try harder to be serious. I cannot get any work done if I am laughing at the very things I do not want them to do.
