My Term

School is coming to end today, the ending of what seemed like a extra long term. The kids are all excited about the change...and of course the end of school for a good 20 days. I on the other am feeling a classically 2 sided excitement. One side; I'm done teaching for a while, no more lesson plans for 4 classes, stress and having to wake up at 7 every morning. On this end I see a much needed hiatus. But I'm alittle scared about how I'll keep myself busy, and where will the kids be every day certainly not all in the same place or even outside there houses. And how much will I miss teaching? I just started getting a hang of it. I know when we restart next term I'll be rusty, thats a scary thought. Its coming though and I just got all of my files copied off of the computer. I can think of some many good times I’ve had in this room and throughout the school. And of course every instance where I failed to be a good friend and the occasional failed class. These memories will stay with me, I know that.
Well school just got out, an early release day with special lunch and only 2 classes. Clean up and turning in of papers...It all seems so nauseatingly familiar. The air of change is escaping past the gates of school, I'm ready to embrace it full hearted. With either side of my head.
