One of the lovely things about being a teacher is that you still get to enjoy the holidays you had as a student. It's an added bonus to work for a boarding school with a good number of foreign exchange students who travel great distances to return to their families. Three weeks is what Emma students get to enjoy and faculty have about 2.5 because we must return early for a Faculty Forum. I'm not complaining because it gives me plenty of time to be with immediate and extended family, friends from college, as well as fly down to Florida to attend the wedding of a dear of mine from my own camp and boarding school days. Ideally I would like to get all those test graded and plan ahead for my classes but who has time for that during break??
Things accomplished since being home:
1. sleeping
2. going for a long walk with the two dogs and my mom
3. sleeping
4. watching Jon Stewart
5. sleeping
6. Playing guitar (I just learned three chords) with my cool brother
7. Lunch with Dad in DC followed by a long walk to visit the Nat'l Christmas Tree, the Nat'l Gallery of Art, and Freer Gallery
8. Fallen asleep on the Metro
9. Watched "Just Friends" with brother
10. going to bed
Is it normal that I am more tired in my unproductive state that I'm in at home than I am when I am in crazy teacher mode back at Emma??
