School's Out for Summer!

It's that time of year again! The end of the year is always bittersweet. During May, visions of beach trips, afternoon naps, and the promise of late night drinking (yes, teachers drink...and go to the bathroom...and have, gasp, lives) get me excited for summer to officially kick off. However, by June, I become sentimental thinking about my kids.

This year was especially difficult to end because my students and their families have become my extended family here. We're all far away from our home so we created a "pseud0-family" who could always offer advice, give a shoulder to lean on, or an ear to listen. It was hard to say good-bye, especially to the students and families who are leaving for another country. Life works in mysterious ways and I know I'll see them again.

Next up: summer!
