Sabbatical
Not that I have any readers left anyway, but obviously, I haven't been able to post lately. The whole first year of teaching high school thing has been distracting me a bit. I don't have my own classroom, so I have to do a lot of my work at home, which eats into my ability to enjoy one of my favorite pasttimes: blogging. This blog is not disappearing, I'm just taking a bit of a break here and hopefully I'll be back blogging regularly in a few weeks. I'm sure I'll have to work a bit harder to get readers again, but then, I started the blog for me anyway. Here's to a Happy HOLIDAY.
