3 weeks left

So I have made the decision to move back to Wisconsin - to live in downtown Milwaukee ((aka civilization)) on the lakefront with one of my besties!!!

I am partly sad to leave some of the great people I have met here and the kids but I am excited to go back home, to a land of PEOPLE and PEOPLE I KNOW!!!

I can't believe how FAST this first year of teaching has gone. I must be a real teacher because I have learned that you are really 'getting it' when you no longer have the time ((or the energy)) to organize your desk at the end of the day, stay on top of everything to get done AND blog - low priority!

Now, I have my TO DO BY THE END OF THE YEAR list posted on my wall above my desk with 1 out of 25 tasks completed - I better get over my procrastination bug and get to work ((not to mention my TO DO list for home/life/moving)).

I will be crying on my way out of Vermont -- tears of sadness, tears of missing my friends and students and tears of joy -- as bad as that sounds!!

MILWAUKEE here I come - T-minus 3 weeks!
