4 years later . . .
Okay, so it has been forever a day since I have updated, but soccer season pretty much made me fall off the planet for three months. So a lot has happened . . .
quick recap -- soccer was great, we had try-outs, played some games, won some games, ended up with the best record of any WCHS soccer team, and lost a heartbreaker in districts.
School this year has been tiring -- and that is a nice way to put it. I have not enjoyed it much, and am starting to wonder if I can do this long term . . . but . . . as of last Friday at 11:00 a.m. -- school is out for the summer! :) (music playing)
Today was graduation. I am a bit nostalgic, as some of the kids graduating are definitely some of my favorites (not that I have favorites -- but I do). Anyway, they are just the boys that crack me up -- I'll miss this class. Other than the seniors, a lot of my kids have been a pain. Don't get me wrong, I like them -- just a bad mix of personalities in some of the classes. Made for a really tiring year, and one that made me want to quit. Only one more year at the crappy building until the new school is done . . . I think I can, I think I can.
Tonight was great -- we were at a friend's house, with a bunch of other teachers. We sat around, played some horseshoes, ate good food, and then introduced some of them to Apples to Apples (the best game ever). I have not laughed so hard in a long time. I don't remember being happy enough to laugh so hard. I seriously thought my side was going to split. It was great. So energizing to just be able to have fun, and relax, and laugh. I think that is the best medicine.
Anyway, so now that it is summer, we will be traveling (in MI from the 14th-18th or 19th of June), to Vancouver, to Wisconsin, and to France (taking students). It should be a great summer, and I am going to learn to relax more . . . maybe that will help next year go smoothly. I hope so. :)
I hope all is well with everyone. I do read the updates, I just never have time to write. I am thinking about you all . . . :)
