My adventures in teaching these past weeks have taught me a number of things:
1) A room full of fifth graders (23, to be exact) is actually easier to work with over the course of one day than a three year old.
2) I am so very happy I'm making this career change. Remind me of that when my student loans come due.
3) Even after handling red worms for three weeks, and teaching fifth graders about what magnificent creatures they are - I still will squeal like a school girl if I have to touch one myself.
4) It has become painfully clear to me that I only have one more year of having my little guy at home with me and I did so miss him over that month of full time teaching.
5) Teaching full time and being faced with the reality of not being at home has actually forced me to embrace my camera once again. Would you believe that I didn't pick that baby up for three months! Gasp. I just couldn't do it; it became my nemesis. And now.. now it's my tool for cherishing all that I adore and love and miss when I'm busy at work.
Lucky readers, you get to enjoy this purge of images that will spew forth after my long outburst of photographic defiance.
