Well June has come and gone, and so did the first part of summer break. The hardest part of summer break that is, so it's all sunshine and rainbows from here on out! Or so it seems. I don't have any summer grad school courses, I have already met my professional development hours, and the summer school that I taught was only for 12 days, so I have zero responsibilities right now.
I'm not one to just sit back and chill for a month and a half, even though that has taken place here and there. I am a big planner of the future, and I like to keep busy, so here are some things I have going for me right now:
1. Seeing friends that I don't get to see during the school year.
2. Organizing/purging items from my apartment
3. Eating clean(ish) and prepping for Marathon #2 training
4. Planning ahead for opening Norris
5. Booking/planning trips of course!
I get more and more excited about moving to a new school every day! I can't wait to get my things moved into my brand spanking new classroom! I am happy to have been named the 5th Grade Team Leader for this opening year at Norris Elementary. Some sad news has come about though. My friend Cynde, who was going to be transferring from Christie to Norris with me, is moving to Seattle. Her husband got a job offer there, and I definitely can't blame her for taking on this adventure. On a positive note, I have a new excuse for more travel!
Trips on my radar:
July - Memphis/Nashville, TN roadtrip with friends
August - Vegas (potentially)
November - Boston, MA with friends
February - New Orleans, LA (Marathon)
March - Seattle, WA/Vancouver Canada
(maybe Portland, OR... we'll see)
The biggest struggle will be keeping my finances in check over the summer. I have so much time and do so many fun things that cost money!!! I'm glad I was able to teach summer school so that I can at least break even by the time that September paycheck comes around.
