I can't wait until the first day back - because I don't have to go!!!!
I retired in November and this is the first year I'm not in that "OMG I have to go back to work" mode. I'm either going to the beach, the movies or my couch to watch Law & Orders all day on the first day of school, while I gloat and relax my butt off.
I do start teaching at a nearby college on Sat. mornings in a couple of weeks, but the only stress involved there is getting up early. I love it.
Truthfully, I think teaching is incredible. I loved my job and I loved my kids so much. My life has been so enriched by them, it's unbelievable.
So, for all of you who do have to go back as students, or as teachers, I wish you a wonderful year filed with great experiences. |
