Confessions of a Blogaholic

We've been off since the beginning of June, and today was my first day "working" back in my classroom. School doesn't start for another 32 days, but I can't wait to get back into teaching mode! I was so excited to be in my room again, to see my posters, my desk, my new computer, my new student computers, my shelves filled with books, everything--I was even excited to see my good ole' trusty overhead projector!!! I can't wait to get back into my room again.

I miss the kids so much, which I know is really odd to hear. But I do...I miss seeing them, working with them, watching their little faces go blank while they zone out (come on, even the best of teachers can't maintain every kid's attention all day, every day!). I miss the games (football, especially!), and I miss yearbook class, which I can't wait to get started again.

I love summers, because it's time off to reevaluate all the stuff I did the previous year. I love getting to catch up on my reading, as that is an essential part of my particular job. I love having time to take classes if I need to, and I definitely love sleeping in...

But...I enjoy my life so much more when I'm getting up every day to go teach. My heart is in my job, and I feel more satisfied when I'm working than when I'm not. I cannot wait to get back to school!
