I’m about done here.
That is one of the best feelings a teacher can have short of seeing their students be successful beyond the classroom. I’m about done and it feels like I am going into the break with a much more positive sense of where I am headed with next semester’s work. I want to be ready next semester from day one. I want to have it all improved and scripted out so that I don’t feel behind and can focus my energy on the students and interacting better with them both in person and online. It is going to take work, but that schedule of off season work is already in process. I plan to put some real time into getting right both as a teacher and husband. Mostly as a husband.
Life has been good to me. I don’t have the problems a lot of people contend with and I have the partner of my dreams. We don’t have a perfect life–we have debts and a limited amount of privacy, but we have enough to be proud of and happy about. More than anything, we have each other. I think about that every day. I don’t know what kind of person I would be if I were alone in this world. So, with that I begin my thankfuls of the season. I am, above all things, thankful for the Lady Talis.
