School's Back

I'm back on contract this Wednesday. The kids won't actually be there for another week and a half but as for me, I'm back to the grind. I never feel like summer is really long enough, and initially when I go back I can't help but feel that I haven't fully recovered from the previous year. I think for me, I've just had a tough summer and so going back, at least as I'm laying here in bed, seems like an all too impossible task. I know it will be fine, and even therapeutic as I will have something else to help get on with my life.
This is my last year at this school. I've been thinking that for about three years now and had committed myself in my own mind here for one more year. After this year I will have taught for 5 years and so I get a nifty little pin and a pat on the back of appreciation. Then I get to drop the bomb to the princ. that I'm peacing out. As to where I will end up....well that right now is still up in the air. I'm looking for a job in Houston, Austin, or Dallas. Whichever I can find that is descent or whichever is the best fit for me. I will say this, I am still leaning towards Austin. Although blake is there, I just really love the city and I have tons of friends there. I think at 27 I may just be ready for a scenery change too. We'll see. Obviously lots to still think about.
