I can't believe it's the end of the summer already. I mean, really? How does February always feel like two months and summer feel like 2 weeks? I believe that's what Einstein was really referring to when he said time was relative.
This was the first year I wasn't in the classroom throughout the summer. Yes, I can hear the applause from all the people in my life. It helped that I started off the summer doing week-long math trainings for Utah's Core Academy. I was out of town (and thereby away from the school) for them and, funny enough, distance did not make my heart grow fonder. Instead, I spent the time - school-wise - doing a lot of research, taking university classes and writing higher-quality lessons and tests. It was invigorating! I'm so excited to get in and try the great things I've learned and created this summer. Of course, I'm not ready to give up my last week of sleeping in and vacation time, but I'm definitely looking forward to teaching this school year. And we're back...
