It’s over. My first summer break is over. Monday morning I will need to drag myself out of bed at 6:30am to quickly shower and dress and hit the road by 7am.
Just like when I was a kid, I’m kind of excited and sad all at the same time. It will be nice to get into a new routine, get to know new students. Stay busy. Time speeds up.
At the same time, I really enjoy doing next to nothing. I love getting to get Ivy up in the morning. I love getting to play with her and get her breakfast and do things whenever I want. I’m going to miss her a lot during the day.
I am excited about teaching Social Studies. I am excited that I’ll be teaching one class of 8th grade Math where I’ll get to be with some students that I’ve already had. I am excited about my new administration who have been friendly, helpful and empowering thus far. I’m excited that I think I’m going to be getting some good feedback and suggestions about how I can teach better.
For my last official day of summer break, I went to see Clone Wars. I thought it was good. I think it hit the tone about right. Maybe even better than the new movies. I’ll miss getting to go to movies in the afternoons on a weekday.
But, I’m going to miss spending all day with my girls.
