I missed lunch with the crowd because I over analyze everything, and the evaluation took me a long time. Typical of my patterns. So I drove around a little, came back to Guyton, and now I'm doing what I always do.
When I first got into teacher corps, I looked around and wondered how I got in. After two years with my class, I have never felt more privileged to be part of a group.
It will be difficult to leave Mississippi for that reason almost as much as it will be difficult to leave the kids.
...and this takes me back to a time during our first summer when a group of first years (our class) went to Two Stick with a group of second years. You and I met up in the parking lot, and after asking several people for directions (and they all gave us a different route to get there, which stressed you out even more), you changed your mind and left when we walked in the door. Yes, you overanalyze. We all love you. And if it makes you feel any better, I stayed, but had never had sushi, so I was completely overwhelmed and stared at the big platter of various rolls while everyone around me bustled to polish off all the food. I'm going to miss seeing you on weekends :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elizabeth. I'm going to miss you, too.
