Revelations...
I realized today as I was running errands and going to lunch with my mother-in -law that:
a) I couldn't at that instant remember ANY of my former students names. None. And I was happy about it. Pouf.
b) That I felt actual physical relief at the revelation that although I will probably go back to work full-time this fall, it will not be in a classroom. That it will be a job for the first time in my life where I can choose when I go to the bathroom, there will be no bells or other sounds that indicate to me where I need to be and when, that I will have more than 20 minutes for lunch, and that I will interact with, on average about 140 fewer people per day, and they will be either adults or college students. Huh.
c) Cheers to life and career changes. It is almost as though you don't realize how much you needed it, until you are doing it.
