Ms. Haley's back

The past two weeks have been restful and energizing, which I didn't fully realize until the third time someone said, "Wow! You are so... happy!"

I know that my energy isn't going to last long, but I am going to do everything I can to stay away from the "survival" place that I was in before the break. It's a dark, dark place and I don't want to go back. Talking to a 2010 TFA corps member today was really helpful. She reminded me that it's better to go home when school is finished and then get an hour of solid work done ...rather than work until 7 out of guilt. Best of all, she assured me that this year teaching will be my life. Next year, it will be my job.

I can't wait for next school year! More importantly though, here is to a productive, healthy new year.
