Well, I am currently on Fall Break and have absolutely no excuse for not updating my blog! So here I go...
The first quarter of the year has now been completed, and I am so far really enjoying teaching first grade. It helps that I have mostly all my same students from last year, so I got to bypass all that routine and ritual teaching part.
With the end of the first quarter comes ten wonderful (and much needed!) days off from school! And the best part??? I have absolutely nothing planned for the entire week. Yes, I have my regular commitments for church and youth group, and last week our community groups started so I am now a part of that. But other than that I have been getting a lot of much needed rest (I was sick the last two days of school!) and catching up on "lifey" things like cleaning and paying bills. (oh the joy)
So what I am doing today, now that I am about half way through my break? I am sitting in a Starbucks (yes, we have Starbucks here... two as a matter of fact!) drinking my coconut latte in a real mug (not those paper kind) and enjoying the day with my friend Megan. If you were to ask me what my favorite thing to do is I would have to say just this. Hanging out and just being. So much of my life is "doing".... It is nice just to be!
