The anticipation for Spring Break was like waiting for Christmas, anxious to see family, open gifts, and get a break from everything related to school. But like Christmas, it came so quickly and left even more quickly. So after that whirlwind of a week, here we are back at school.
Spring Break did accomplish some of its purposes. I do feel rested from the break and have regained the patience towards the students that I had lost those few weeks leading up to Spring Break. Unfortunately, Spring Break did stir up desires to go home that had been successfully suppressed. Seeing family and enjoying warm weather on a beach felt more like summer making it more difficult to bear down and finish the last quarter of the school year. These feelings made the first few days back at school long but thankfully after a week back, it seems that I have regained my mid-season form. I'm back to the grind and have put dreams of summer on the back-burner. I better take advantage of this mindset because who knows how long it will last.
