Wow that light is bright...

The light at the end of the tunnel is almost here... in fact it's shining on my toes. 4 more days with kids and one work day and I'll be done. This time next week I will not be laying awake thinking of all the things I have to do in a week. I won't be worrying about students, I won't be re-working lessons in my head, and I won't be wondering what I should have done better last week. I am sure at some point I will start thinking about who my students will be next year, how I will be able to do things different and better than I did this year, and how I can be the best teacher I can possibly be... but not for a little while. I deserve a break :)

This time next week I will be counting the days until my feet taste the soil of Africa, my nose smells the scent of acacia trees, and my eyes see the constellations at the equator. This Africa trip is going to be good for my soul... which is more than a little in need of some TLC. I'm a little tired of bearing my burdens and am so looking forward to setting them aside... even if it is just for a little while.

Dear Summer,

Dear Summer,

Love,
