End of Summer

Well it's officially closing in on the end of summer as my county starts back with pre-planning this Friday (7/21).  Although I enjoy my time off, it's definitely safe to say that I'm ready to start back.  I'm so much more productive it seems during the work calendar.  I'm excited to get back and see the students I know and of course to meet the ones I will be teaching this year.  The one silver lining is that the end of summer also signals the end of this program for me.  Although I've enjoyed the time and experiences with all of you, I'm ready for a break from school.  It seems as if I've been continuously going to school since I started grade school way back when.  I got my master's before I started teaching right after my undergrad and then my specialist after year two of teaching followed by this program after year 7.  I'm going to take some time and take a few breaths before I start the march on my doctorate.  Hope all is well with everyone.

  1. Congrads. I too will be finished with this program at the end of the summer. Totally understand taking a break from school as it seems that it can totally take over all your spare time. Looking forward to a school year where their will be no late nights writing a paper.

  2. Hi Dave and Stephanie,

    I'm looking forward to the new school year, but unlike the two of you I will not be finished with my personal scholastic journey until December. I probably won't head straight into my doctorate either, and will be looking forward to breathing a sigh of relief once I am done. It was great getting to know everyone in the Kappa Cohort and I wish you all the best.
