Yes, I'm alive. Student teaching and nine credits later, I'm still here. I made it. What an intense season of life that was. Teachers are not joking when they reference their licensing efforts with a grunt. It's hard! As usual, my plans to enjoy a summer off from graduate work before I push for the big finish have changed. Bottom line: I would rather focus on my graduate courses during the summer months when my teaching responsibilities are lighter and life is bit more flexible. Thus, last night I went to my first summer session course. This summer I will take 3 courses. Go me! For the next five weeks I am in class from 4:15-8:15 M-T-W-TH. Not ideal, but very productive.
I thought I would be posting with visions of this in mind:
And now, I will have to reset my blogging pause-button once again. Come mid-July, the notion of free-time, social outtings, and summer will take a central role in my day again. For now - pause.
