I am at my mom's house, so I have internet access for a few hours. My mind has been on full-throttle, but I have been living inside my head so much. There are no sounds from apartments, there is no television, I learn about nothing (unimportant as it may be) from anyone I know on Facebook, and I don't really talk to anyone on the phone. I have been stuck in a new place, stuck only because I am freaked out by all that isn't the way I want it to be, and I have felt pretty alone.
Yet, I don't waste hours watching television or learning nothing about people on Facebook...so, that's good, right?
All I know is that at this point in January, I have already felt the doldrums of winter settling in, and usually that doesn't happen until February. Yikes.
I have resolved to pour my heart into re-designing my classes and learning to see all of my students as children of God before I see them as failing statistics. I have resolved to be more thankful and not dwell on all that will make me uncomfortable in the coming years due to gross spending inadequacies in the state and federal budgets for education. It isn't supposed to be about me, right? Oh yea...I have also resolved to cherish the remaining months that I have with the class of 2010. Our days are numbered, and I am fighting all urges to take a year off of teaching so that I don't have to learn to be at school without them.
This was a sad post. Or boring.
Sorry.
Winter does that to me.

The days are never numbered. You will continue to inspire and be inspired wherever we go. Worry not.
I had a feeling you would write a post about this, and I had a feeling that it was going to be about how much technology has ruined our lives, etc. etc, cliche cliche. But I quiet like this.
I am on draft two of "Return to Danger Mountain." Draft three is floating around in my brainz.
XOXOXO, LUV.
