the end is (not) near...

This is always the toughest time of year for me. I dread going back to school tomorrow. I just want summer vacation to be here already. Mostly it's because I don't like "fighting" with the students to hang in there and do work for the next month. They're going to come back from this weekend thinking it's summer vacation and any attempt by teachers to work is fodder for complaining. And I really hate the whining. And yet I'm whining. bah.

I've had such a great year that I hate to end on this kind of note. After April break I was actually looking forward to going back--ready to get the year done. Now after a long weekend I'm dreading the thought of going back.

Maybe going to sleep early tonight will help. I'll go in to bed in a bit and read... and when I fall asleep that's when I'll turn the light off and get a good night's rest.
