Hi! It’s been awhile. I’ve been preoccupied. and lazy. My mind has been on my test for my teaching certification. But now its all over with. I admit, I’ve been nervous about this teaching path, but since being in an actual classroom yesterday for the first time in eight years was a pretty calming experience.
