Here I am, another year older and another year more experienced. This year completes my sixth year of teaching and my second year of teaching in the Capital City.
I went through a lot this year and if I could encapsulate this year into one word it would be: tired.
I sort of set myself up for it though, really. I wrote my thesis this year and finished my masters. Over the summer, Phil and I backpacked through Europe and didn't arrive home until a day before school started. We did eleven countries in a month. I also moved and then realized how much I hated living in an apartment.
So, I began the process of buying a house. I almost closed on one and then it fell apart and then I looked at a lot of houses and if nothing happens within the next few days, the second house will be mine as of Tuesday.
I'll be returning next year to the Capital City and like the crazy lady that I am, I'll be working on my PhD.
However, I have some big ideas for how I'm going to create my classroom for next year and have already been compiling my lists of things to make and what to get from Lakeshore. I'm excited for a new year and though I am running summer programming this year, I know I'll be more on top of next year's start because I'll have the summer to prepare. And fix up my house. And work. And take a class...and and and....
Such is life, though, right?
