Quick update

hello all...

i just wanted to give you a quick update about my first day back to work with kids. surprisingly, it was a pretty great day! my students were excited to have me back and after our 20 minute talk, things were back to normal (like before I was gone)! they were working and i was happy to be there with them. sadly, i had to say good-bye to one of my students today. it was bittersweet. she was living at the family shelter that feeds into our school so her leaving was actually a positive thing for her and her family. i also had 3 of my students from last year stop by to visit me today. feeling sad about shellie leaving and seeing my old students made me realize the connection that i have with my students, no matter how rough around the edges they may be sometimes. i am now not dreading going to work so much tomorrow. :)

well...that is all for now. i am off to bed (this 5:30am business is starting to catch up)!

love, suz
