A fresh beginning

by Jay on June 4, 2010

As an educator, we all start to get a little excited this time of the year.  There is a feeling in the air.  Students are ready to leave and enjoy their time off for a while.

Unfortunately, too many teachers have been counting the days since Spring Break.  I always find that a bit sad.  Why do you not like your job that much?  And even more importantly, why do you stay in it?

I have recently allowed myself to start getting excited for the summer.  I feel like I need to be reinvigorated a bit.  I hope to do some research into foreign language methodology research to do some things differently next year.

I also am happy that I will have more time to write.  Lately, I feel like I’ve been going crazy trying to keep on top of everything, which has led to no time to write.

All that will change soon!

One question I have been pondering lately.  Is the oil spill President Obama’s eventual Hurricane Katrina?  I’d say not, but remember how he hammered the poor response to Katrina over and over during the campaign.  I bet he wishes now that he had played a different card.
