Bring it, summer!

My last official day of school was on Wednesday.  I walked right out those glass doors and straight into summer.  There are a plethora of problems with teaching, but somehow I feel like all teaching injustices are made right over the 10 week summer break.  Every complaint about my profession I've had throughout the year vanishes when I remember... summers off!

To celebrate the night we did a little campfire with my best friend and her husband and child.  It brought me back to my school days... the last night of school we built a huge bonfire and burned all of our school work from the whole year.  Something about watching your work go up in flames was very satisfying to me at 15 years old.  I have a feeling that if I burned all the papers I graded over the year it would be equally satisfying.

Life is good.
