Summer is over. So sad!

Every year there is a little sadness and laziness when it comes to going back to school. Some years are harder than others, but this year it is really difficult to get excited! I remember the years that I went back after having Adilyn and Kacy so well. Those were definitely hard, but I really loved my job at Beck, so it made it easier. I looked forward to seeing everyone, getting the volleyball season started, and just meeting all my new students. Last year was exciting because it was my first year in elementary school, and I was really looking forward to a new chapter in my career. This year, however, is just nothing but blah...Don't get me wrong, I am definitely happy to be in elementary PE because I would be really bummed if I had to start teaching 7th grade English all day like I thought I was going to. There is still something in me that just dreads this year. I don't know if it's because I still haven't met my teaching partner, and I have been getting some weird vibes about her from other people. Maybe it's because it's really hard to be the "new girl" again. Maybe it's the fact that the job I took is in the place of a guy who was terminated because of the budget last year. Maybe it's that I just had such an amazing time with the girls this summer. Maybe I still feel a little disenchanted by all the stuff that happened in Katy last year. Who knows? But, whatever the reason, I'm bummed. I hope that it will be a great year. I hope that my teaching partner and I will get along. I hope that I actually find some friends in the school this year. I know that God put me in this position for a reason. Whatever that reason is may or may not be clear to me one day, but I just hope that I can enjoy the ride that He has put me on for the next 9 months!
