Summertime is going by way too quickly. It's already the middle of July and I feel like I haven't even started to take advantage of all the beautiful sun. I started going to the pool after work to work on my tan and then walk in the evenings with friends. It should be a good start at beginning to enjoy my summer.
Next school year is going to be pretty hard for me. It's going to take a lot of stamina, endurance, and patience dealing with both the students and the parents. I feel that I do a really good job at communicatiing with my parents, but I do a good job because I'm always doing it. I'll email a parent back at midnight just so I don't forget to do it the next morning. I'll make phone calls on my lunch break and stay after school for hours talking on the phone, emailing, or visiting in person.
Just as my resolution states, I need to leave by 6 this year. Yep, I have to make a goal out of it or I would never do it. I often see the inside of my classroom at 8 p.m. or later. I've been known to be the absolute last person to leave the building and still feel like I could drive back and work some more at 4 a.m. But, this year, no matter if the larger caseload and the more demanding parents ask for it, I have to stop at 6. have to.
Now, since it's not quite school time yet. I'm going to stop worrying about it and enjoy the sun. I'm headed to the Basilica Block party and meeting some great friends!
