11 pipers piped, and I was sick as a dog. Typically, if I get sick in a semester, it is closer to the end of it, when my defenses are lowered. It doesn't help that it's flu season as well. This one came hard and fast, and left in the same manner. It's interesting that one day a person can feel like they may not make it through the night without a trip to the ER, and the next day feels mostly normal. Our bodies are really neat things, designed by God to fight off things that are harmful to them.
Moral of the story is: Stay hydrated, by drinking lots of water!
10 lords a' leaping...it is exactly 10 more days until graduation. Lots of details begin to catch up with me. There are several forms that still need to be turned in to the school. I need to start packing boxes to be able to move on time. At some point I need to get a cap and gown, because all of the cool kids will be wearing them. It's so hard to find time to work on getting things together to be in Durango, when I'm still so immersed in the Crawford community. I have a slumber party tomorrow night, spelling lists to write, and 1st and 2nd grade concerts to attend. Somehow things come together, and everything will happen. Yes, this is what I tell myself everyday.
9 ladies dancing...The kids sang Christmas songs at the bank today, which had their student teacher in tears. I'm going to miss seeing these faces, mostly consistent since the beginning of the semester, and what a quick semester it's been! I can't believe they still have the other half of the year, and I won't get to see the rest of the process. I'm so grateful to have been with an excellent teacher who has enough humor, imagination, and "sanity among the insane" to carry her to the end of the year. I will miss the collaboration and laughs that we've had when funny comments are made by the kiddos. I love to hear all of her new ideas that she incorporates into her class, and hope to emulate her spirit for continued learning throughout life, whether in teaching or other things. Long live great teachers!
