Well, that's done

So today I officially turned in my keys at the school I've worked at for 6 years. I thought I'd have more to say and reflect on, but I guess I've done most of that already. So just a few things:

1) I'm going to miss teaching soooooooo much. This is reassuring because it means I'm definitely going to go back to it.

2) This will be the first time since age 6 that I'm not following a school calendar of summers and breaks. This is... somewhat disconcerting. But at the same time... freeing?

3) Having worn so many hats for so long, it feels nice to actually take one off. Chinese School has been the "side project/obligation" for the last 20 years of my life. I'm interested to see what happens when I treat it as a full-time job.


Of course, I'm not going to start officially until next week, since I'm leaving for Chicago on Wednesday for my brother's graduation. And even after getting back it might be weird, since the in-laws will be here for a week, and then I might be teaching a week-long comics class.

Tomorrow I think I'll do some miscellaneous errands:
- laundry
- oil change
- hair cut
- process checks?

and maaaaybe get Tisquantum all queued up for the next few weird weeks?
