First tastes of Summer

I am a schoolmarm~ That is the number one phrase that describes me. It is part of my soul. I have always known I was meant to teach and every summer that is proven how true that really is. I get my energy and drive and motivation and joy from my students. And I MISS MISS MISS MISS them. I know crazy. I needed a break so badly, more this year than every other year but I want my students back. I love getting emails from future students but it gets me excited. I bought my new planning book for the upcoming year and that thrilled me too. I love love love the prospects of the future and the new blood. I am so excited for Mock Trial we are going to blow them away.
That being said it has not been a lazy summer for the most part. I had to take a test proving I am a responsible class manager to the federal government. By the Way Federal Gov't you have no idea how much I help the kids by the fact I can answer a question asking me to write an essay about how using the computer lab is effective in a classroom. Moving on- I have spring cleaned my room and gotten rid of a lot of things. I have read four books. I have re-vamped Mock Trial Applications. I have run errands and gone shopping.I have written in my journal a lot. I have ponder and re-thought my life. I have decided to be a temple worker- and it is the thing I am most excited right now!!!!! So I am keeping busy and not just being lazy. But I will say it didn't take long for me to slip into natural patterns meaning I am up till 2 am and that means I cannot get up till like 10am. Which does not work for the school year. So I need to break that pattern before school but I love it.
What is the future? Well next week I am taking a week long class next week for 3 credits. Then it is home for the baptism of my oldest niece and nephew, then back to Utah for a seminar for two days and then back to Nevada to babysit my niece and nephews for a week and then to have fun with my parents.
