PLN week 5-1

Today I read an article on the Cool Cat Teacher blog by Vicki A. Davis called "Slow Down... Life Waits for You.", what I thought mattered from this article is that life is hard, but take it slow and day by day and even though you may want to quite don't, just take a break and calm down when you get back everything will be waiting for you.

Everyone gets stressed, everyone gets cranky and start to loose it. I can imagine teachers feel this way all the time. Having to teach high school kids about life and teaching us the things we need to know and if they are doing it right. In this article this is what she talks about, the stresses and the late hours teachers put into their students and how stressful it can be. She was listening to this song called Vienna Waits for you by Billy Joel and even thought it is not about school or not even related she kind of saw it that way and related it to her and her stressful life.

There were certain parts of the song that she thought was important and helped her not be so stressed...

Here are the lyrics and her favorite parts that she changed to make more sense of her perspective of what it meant to her....

Slow down, you crazy child you're so ambitious for a juvenile

But then if you're so smart, tell me

Why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry
about?

You'd better cool it off before you burn it out

You've got so much to do
and

Only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told..

That you can get what you want or you get old

You're gonna kick off before you even

Get halfway through

When will you realize, Life Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine

You can't be everything you want to be

Before your time

Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight

Tonight,...Too bad but it's the life you lead

you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need

Though you can see when you're wrong, you know

You can't always see when you're right. you're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride

but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?

Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true

When will you realize, Life Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child

and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile

it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two

When will you realize,..Life Vienna waits for you?

And you know that when the truth is told

that you can get what you want or you can just get old

You're gonna kick off before you even get half through

Why don't you realize,. Life Vienna waits for you

When will you realize, Life Vienna waits for you? Sometimes we all need to take the phone off the hook.

Slow down, life waits for you

In this she marked out all the Vienna words so it would be "Life waits for you?"
Think about it because everyone needs a stress reliever
