Apathy Runs Amuck...

We've hit that point in the year in which we at all apathetic at school...students and teachers alike...we just don't really care anymore...we're in survival mode these next few days!

While the holidays are great fun and always a great reminder of all the wonderful blessings we have in life, the lead up to them are exhausting!  As a school teacher, I know I am fortunate to have a longer break over the holidays than most other professions.  BUT, people in other professions will never understand how draining it is to be a teacher...and compounded with hormone-driven emotion teenagers...Well, I'm surprised I haven't turned to drinking yet.

We've two more days (half days at that), and they can't come and end fast enough for any of our likings.  I love my job (mostly when I get to shut my door and just teach) and I love my students, but I'm definitely ready for a break from both of them...just as they are in need of a break from me!
