So here we are the new school year. I'm trying to find the joy, really I am. I always look forward to going back to school. Even as a student, I couldn't wait for the first day of school, the unknown was exciting, the known was like coming home. Not so much this year. For the first time in my career, I'm not looking forward to going back to work. The good news is that driving into the parking lot today I didn't feel sick to my stomach, but I really am not looking forward to walking into that building on Monday. I wish that I could just take every day that the kids aren't there off... hmmm... Since I "don't relate well to staff" or was it that I "don't work well with adults"? I wonder why I should bother to try? Or a better question, why have I been asked to give presentations to adults, or to lead planning sessions with adults.... I'm obviously not qualified to do so, or so the powers that be would have me believe.
It was nice being rushed by some of the football players (though they wondered why I hadn't been around earlier) and the requests from other students were reaffirming. so I will look forward not to Monday, but to September 1st when my real job begins again, the reason that I chose this career path... when kids are in the room.

It's a fork in the road. Which path do you take? Sometimes things like this happen so we have the time to take a step back and reevaluate. At least that's what I think about my life right now. At least the kids are making you smile!
