The end of the summer is approaching quickly, and I guess there's nothing I can do to stop it. This week I have been at school, preparing the hallway and my classroom. I was thankful that we scaled down the extent to which we decorate our hall, so it was done in 3 hours. Last year we made several trips to school without air conditioning to get it done. It took forever.
This time of year is always a little bittersweet for me. I love summer. I love having a break, because mentally I need it. I love sleeping in (which means I sleep until 8 instead of 5:30). I love not setting an alarm. I love getting to choose what to do each day, and what time to eat lunch! This summer, I have loved going to the gym or taking Lily on a walk. But, by this point in the summer, I usually miss the interaction I have with my teammates and friends at work. I work with some pretty amazing women, and I simply don't see them enough in the summer. Maybe next summer I'll work on that.
However, August means work for me. So, back to work I go. I'll officially be back at work on August 12, and I'll have students on August 22. I'm excited that I'm changing my classroom around this year. It has looked the same for 4 years, so it was time for a change. I'm excited about this new group of students, and honestly, I'm excited to find out which students are in my class. They're always so excited to be upstairs, and so eager to be with the big kids. I'm not excited about my 5:30 alarm. I'm easing myself into it. This week, I've woken up at 6:30. I'm not excited about sitting outside during recess in this heat. Hopefully, it won't stay this hot too much longer. (I can dream, right?!)
So my countdown begins, just under three weeks until school starts.
