Today is my last day of freedom. Tomorrow, work begins for another ten months.

Not that today was especially free…I spent hours at the bank, hours in my classroom, and hours in the grocery store. But, in a way, there was freedom. I chose which errand to do first. I could have skipped any errand and completed them tomorrow. It was still full of choices I made.

Tomorrow, I get a schedule that I have no say in. I am told activities I must participate in.

I love teaching. I’m not dreading going back. I’m actually looking forward to it! I’m just going to miss the freedom that comes with summer. The daily decisions that involve what time I get up, how long I may dawdle over breakfast, and how long I can wear my pajamas. Whether or not I can read an entire book, watch a movie after lunch, or actually do something productive like clean my house or grocery shop.

Well, wish me luck!

P.S. My classroom looks so cool! I’m lovin’ it! I’ll post pictures sometime this week.
