Today I scrambled to finish my grades, laboriously entered them into our clanky, cranky system, and then shot off to the end-of-year party.
I got home and realized something that had been lurking beneath the surface of my thoughts all day, but never fully realized in my mind.
I have nothing to do. No planning, no grading, no meetings, no stresses, no reflection on what happened in class, no worrying about next term, no worries about finding a summer job. Nothing.
I have nothing to do.
And it’s fabulous.

Again, we are on the same wavelength! I went into school today for a few hours, to clean up my room and put things away, say my goodbyes, etc. I came home, and although I have errands to run, I thought to myself tonight, “I have no planning to do.” Usually I go into a slight “funk” for about two weeks, getting adjusted to no school responsibility. However, we are going camping this weekend, so I have been plenty busy. No funk yet! Enjoy your time!
