Yesterday felt the most 'normal' things have felt in over a year. I got to school early to unload artwork from the COC show. I felt really productive with grading and getting things done on my planning period. Students were generally well behaved and nice and receptive to everything that I told them. It is a four day week and it is right after spring break, so we all are just trying to make it through the days.
After school, I had a student stay late to work on a painting and she told me she wants to be an art teacher. We conducted an interview with my good friend for the other art teacher position in my building. It felt good to be in a room with a group of people talking about art. I went to Wal-mart to buy a baby shower gift and saw several students at work. I went to a sushi food truck to pick up dinner and grabbed a sonic drink. Then I went to a friend's house to talk and eat birthday cake. It felt normal. We told stories and talked and laughed and confided in ways we have not done in over a year. It felt really good and normal. I also got home too late to write another post, so I am up early on the last day of the Slice of Life challenge for this year to get my last post typed up. This has been one of the craziest, hardest years of my life. I have learned a lot about myself and what I need to be happy. See you next year!
