It’s over. My first year of teaching is officially over. My first job is officially over. And it doesn’t feel real. It doesn’t feel like when I go to work tomorrow, I can go in an hour later because I don’t have to plan. I have curriculum meetings 8-3 this week and then that’s it. It’s surreal. I can’t believe it’s June! This year went by so fast. Every year since I can remember just keeps speeding up and now it feels like I’m just flying through life. Last year at this time I was substitute teaching, planning for a wedding and a honeymoon, and getting ready to move to a new city. This year, I am preparing to go to China in a week (yay family!), putting offers on houses, and getting ready for my new job (in an old city - the one where I grew up) where I’ll have my second, first-year of teaching. If the University of Michigan taught me anything, it’s that changes are good and exciting;they are just new opportunities to explore this world and myself in a different light. I am sad that this chapter of my life has ended but am looking forward to the future. Check back on this blog over the summer and next year as I continue to explore the wonderful world of education as a Spanish teacher. Have a great summer everyone!

More fire alarms
Update... (no I did not set up the fire alarm again). The fire alarm has gone off 3 or 4 more times since I set it off all by different people. It always goes off for the same reason; either something in the oven or burnt popcorn in a not-so-great microwave. I'm just proud of myself that I set it off when there were fewer kids in school (because it was after school) and it was a nice day. We've had to stand outside pretty long some days in the cold and wind while waiting for the firemen to give the okay the other times it has gone off.
