It's the 15th of August 2010. That means that in roughly 11 hours I will be back at work for the new school year. As I anxiously await the year ahead, I reflect on my summer and some things that I've learned:
1. Even if I finish graduate classes in June, they will hold on to that darn transcript ALL the way till August when the degree is awarded. THEN I'll receive the transcripts before I receive the degree.
2. DJ Lance Rock is kind of scary, but I CAN'T STOP WATCHING HIM!
3. It is possible to spend $30+ on chocolate (but totally worth it).
4. I'll never tan as beautifully as I did as a child.
5. A 16-month-old little boy can eat two whole plates of applesauce with only three fingers (we were practicing with a spoon but he stuck with what he knew).
6. Having any kind of surgery in the summer doesn't guarantee a better environment to recover. It just guarantees I'll feel miserable KNOWING I should have a better environment to recover because it's the summer but I don't.
7. I miss having the maid service come to clean my house:(.
8. I still don't have enough time to read for fun.
9. Agreeing to switch classrooms makes for an anxiety ridden summer.
10. Sesame Street still holds the same magic but just takes some time getting used to (as my husband put it, "They don't change anything by accident.").
I am one of those weirdos that is ecstatic to be going back to work tomorrow. I thrive on busy. I just know that getting back into my classroom and gearing up for the new year is going to, ironically, help lower my blood pressure and chase my slight summer slump away. I suppose I feel that as long as I'm going, I know I'm not dead.
