I will do my best. Although I need rest. It's been nonstop, and it continues to be (and yes, I know it is normal for some to take breaks when they are given breaks, but college breaks don't match up with K-12 breaks, and summer breaks don't match up with when kids and teachers are looking for workshops and opportunities. The work, though, I love.
The meetings? Not so much
Most important for me today is to make it until 11 a.m. - I have to keep the morning class on track and moving ahead, even with the cancellation of visiting a school - there's only so many more weeks left.
I also am approaching the day with optimism, as I predict much of today is going to be educational, while I learn how structures and infrastructures REALLY work.
It's been a fascinating year. Everywhere. Still claiming the lifelong-learning thing. I keep learning, but I need space to think, rest, and reflect. I believe our systems are in need of major, major change.
