Posting here has been scarce, for good reason. I’m in my last semester of a post-bacc teaching certification program at a local university. That means I’m student teaching. So far it has been frustrating, exciting, exhausting, frustrating, time consuming, and fun. But above all, time consuming and exhausting. I’m convinced it’s harder to do as a post-bacc student, if only because I now have more of a life to manage than I did as an undergrad. It’s left me with little time to post new content.
But tomorrow is Rosh Hashanah! And that means, at least in this area, that I don’t have school tomorrow! Back home, we never had off for any Jewish holidays. Instead, we had off for the first two days of deer season. It’s still weird to me to have to go back to school or work the Monday after Thanksgiving.
So, instead of going to school, I plan to
- check out the selection of children’s lit in Spanish at Barnes and Noble
- wander around Terrain, looking at things I have no intention of buying, awaiting inspiration and enjoying beauty
- go to yoga (it’s been way, way, way too long)
- write a spectacular lesson plan for Friday (I’m getting observed by my university supervisor)
- stock up on canned pumpkin (I think there’s another shortage this year?)
- bake something with pumpkin
- read
I really don’t want it to seem like a to-do list. It will be much more free-form than that. But these are things I’d enjoy doing if I had the time.
And tomorrow I do. Thank you, Rosh Hashanah. Thank you, suburban school district. Though come Thanksgiving, I’d be wishing I could trade Rosh Hashanah for deer season vacation days.
