I'm trying to get down to the heart of the matter

I know I've been absent for a while, but...

I SURVIVED MY FIRST YEAR OF TEACHING!!

I'm utterly exhausted right now and already missing my kiddos, and it's difficult for me to not dwell in everything I could have done so much better, but I know that the two months to just BE and to actually develop a life outside of my teaching will be vital.

Rejuvenation, here I come.
