Taking a Break

Spring Break is here!

I won't be doing much with my week - catching up on school, working a fair amount at the store, and spending time with my wonderful boyfriend. I'm also hoping on finally taking time to explore that magic city that is Boston.

Since arriving here in September, I have not explored...at all. I would like to be able to come up with a decent excuse, but I have none. I am just one of those people who tend to find peace with relaxing at home than outside with other humans. Also, it's been cold. And we all know that I don't do the cold.

But this is a time to have fun. We are even supposed to get up to the 40s and 50s this week! (Woohoo! Light jacket weather!) Unfortunately, this does mean that the multiple feet tall piles of snow will start melting and Boston isn't exactly made for rain, if you get my drift. Hopefully - it'll be just slow enough we don't flood out every street at once.

Thank all y'all for your prayers and good wishes about last Wednesday. I can say that I successfully taught three students how to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions. AND they were able to remember it the next day. (You have absolutely no idea how excited I was. They sometimes have amnesia of the things taught the period before. Well, it is middle school...)

But I am feeling a bit better about my teaching skills. I wish I had a little more time to practice before jumping into student teaching next spring, but I know everything will work out. I will win some and lose some and learn how to think on my feet. (I can actually thank my job for that last skill, too.)

I am hoping for some sort of adventure this week - something unexpected. In this city, I feel like it just might happen.

Until next time,

Kaity
