The prospect of getting through this week was a little daunting, as I had class all day everyday, with a whole lot of checked out kids who weren't interesting in learning anything new, but all just wanted to go home! (And I didn't blame them!!!)
It's crazy to be sitting here, at almost the end of Wednesday, having finished all my report cards, met all my end of term deadlines, and have just finished all my parent/teacher interviews! It's amazing that somehow the hard stuff is finished and completed until next term! I feel like it is the first day of summer break, and while I still need to go to dinner tonight, and help out with the dinner dishes, I feel like I'm done, and that already I am on break!
In about a week I'll probably start missing the kids, and being ready for second term to start, but right now, having time to relax, not being on a rushed schedule all the time, and living in my house instead of in my classroom sounds pretty good!
End of term is filled with plenty of emotions...pride for my kids and what they've accomplished, exhaustion from the past term and a need to catch up on sleep, excitement for some of the projects I want to do over break, sadness as my roommate will be leaving to go home....and with each end of term I am realizing that it is bringing me one step closer to the day when I will be leaving Sakeji to go home and get married! What a bitter/sweet end of term that will be!
