What goes into “the end”

Well, Friday is when grades close for Progress Reports, and next Friday is my last day. There is so much that needs to be done! I need to finish grading, finish units, finish planning, finish portfolios, and so much more! I can’t believe how fast time has been flying by! I think that it feels so rushed now because it was hard realizing how quickly things really go by. What’s unusual is that each day progresses so slowly, but when I blink the week has already passed. Though I have only been here for a little over 3 months, it feels like at least a whole year of learning. Anything that I haven’t actually dealt with first-hand I have gotten plenty of advice about or stories of how others have acted in certain situations, like what to do if a student comes in high/drunk/otherwise altered. Some things are scary, and though every person is different, I’m sure that when I am facing a situation like that I will be able to react soundly and responsibly. I still thank you all for supporting me and reading my blog. This whole experience has been so wonderful.
