Vacation is a good thing.
All good things come to an end.
Therefore, vacation comes to an end...on Sunday.
Just got back to the Windy City this afternoon, and, while it's mighty good to be back, it's also somewhat sad to leave family and friends back home. Visiting and relaxing were much needed activities, and my sister and I definitely kept busy with family activities, dinners with friends, movies (like Moneyball), jogs around the neighborhood, a haircut, Church events, and more. (So good to be home.)
But, as noted above, vacations only last for so long, so this evening I spent some time preparing for an upcoming reading convention (SO EXCITED!) and reading up on the latest reading research.
I guess tomorrow will be time to focus on the upcoming Religion unit I need to plan, some grading I've left unfinished, and some leisure reading.
And with ends come beginnings - and I'm taking bets Monday will begin the students' countdown to summer break...
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
