As the summer is speeding on every teacher begins to panic once the calendar switches over to August. For me its not a matter of looking at the calendar it is the signs that are popping up that indicated that summers coming to a close. Here are the five ways I know summer is coming to a close.
1. The school dreams start. Ask any teacher and most of them tell you that we have back to school dreams, or nightmares. For me they usually involved the setting up of my classroom and my new classes. Some of them are good but more often than not I wake up in a cold sweat.
2. Someone says "It must be so nice to have the whole summer off". Yes I know to most people it seems like I have a ridiculously long summer vacation...and to be honest I do. I also don't know that if I worked for the state or a business after 12 years I would definitely have a lot of time off that I could choose when I take it-which is not the case with school. I am blessed to get the time off though
3. I then have the deep need to punch said people who mentioned about my summer off in the face....ok not that severe More I want to have them spend one month doing my job then discuss with me the length of my vacation.
4. I get giddy at the site of the target school supply section. I love the section with all the new school supplies. I love stocking up on supplies for my room, the fresh promise of all those supplies, and the fact that I can fill up a whole cart for both that much money.
5. That exciting feeling that waivers between wanting to puke and sweaty palms and sheer joy. I love my job, I love the promise of the a new school year, and dread it all at the same time. Every year is like the first day of high school when you are freshman....I am just 34 instead of 14.
