I need to blog more...so much has happened since last time that there's no way to catch people up on everything.
The "New Boy" and I celebrated our year anniversary last weekend. I guess that makes him not the 'New Boy' any more? We had a picnic in Central Park with sushi, champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and our little Jack :)
School has started and it's so different than last year, but the start is exhausting all the same. I talk to people that aren't teachers and their weekends are spent watching football, making stew, or baking apple pies. I spend my weekend doing grad school work or grading or planning. This is my last year of grad school, and the further we get in to the year, the better the planning will be, but I long for the apple picking, pumpkin pie baking, walks in Central Park kind of fall.
Life vs. teaching. It's a decision I'll struggle with as long as I'm teaching in this kind of setting, I fear. Teaching as life will not last forever. I love my kids, but once they're gone, it may just be time for a career and life pace change.
