I am not a patient person

I know this is no surprise to anyone who actually knows me. When I decide to do something, I want it to happen now. I am beating my head up against the wall with that fact right now. I have all of these ideas of things that I want to do, things that I would like to be spending my time on, but I have this other thing, this job teaching that is getting in the way of that. It's funny, I'm almost depressed every morning when I go to school because I have to leave all of the other things that I'm working on. When my kids come in, my mood brightens, but the same thing happens after school. I don't want to spend my time grading papers and fixing bulletin boards. I want to go work on my book or my website, or helping Pepperdine students in Second Life.

This seems a little wrong to me. What I'm writing books about is changing education, so shouldn't teaching still be the most important thing to me? I guess what it comes down to is that I'm bored at school. I've done this for five years and all of the other stuff is a challenge. Saying I've done if for five years doesn't make me an expert, or even mean that I'm a great teacher. It just means that I like change, and even changing school districts doesn't change the fact that this is basically the same thing I've been doing.

I want to change the world. And I want to do it now. :)
