Ahhh... today is the first day back at work for my teacher friends. Well...let's get serious, most of them have ALREADY been working for awhile, but today it's official and I have to admit that I miss it. Well...not the job or the administration crap per se, but the people. I miss my teacher friends, talking about all the worldy events from Darfur to Britney Spears. I miss laughing about ridiculous things like "WAD" and "Chilpanchango", talking with a hamburger hand... Most of all I miss my students. I swear to god they have already grown even more over the summer - which I have really only been able to witness from my teacher facebook. Every summer since college I have felt a lack of purpose without teaching - without knowing I was making a difference. I know that very, very soon, I will be making a difference in my own son's life and CC, I can hardly wait to hold you (minus all that labor stuff). I feel very, very fortunate to have this time with my husband and baby at home, I know it will be the greatest gift. In the meantime, with waiting, I think it's okay to miss my old teaching job.
Room 403 - You will be missed.
