Smile, Breath in and out. You'll make it.

This week let's just say I have A LOT going on. I don't do too well when my mind is in overload mode.... So anywaysssss. I teach a microbiology lab every Monday. I love it. It is so much fun and really helps me learn what works in teaching and what doesn't. Well yesterday, I don't think I have been that flustered in a.. millennium, yeah that long. I was trying to 1. find all the cultures and materials my students would need 2. explain their labs to them, and 3. answer all the little questions. Those poor poor poor poor kids. I am pretty sure not a single one of them knew what was going on, and they need to 'cause their quiz is next week and I didn't even review. I was feeling terrible and just not happy at all. Then two boys in my lab came in from getting samples around campus and the place a snickers on the counter. They said, "Karen it's ok. Smile. Breath in and out. You'll make it." Nice right??? I may not have been totally normal and I definitely was still scatter brained but it helped :) Those little acts of service make a world of difference in my life!
