A student asks me today (in class)...Mrs. Eds, what do you DO in the summertime with all your free time?
me: "besides teach?" ( I can never let the obvious go...)
Believe it or not, teachers work in the summer. Even if I weren't teaching summer school, I would be bound to numerous teacher workshops for continuing education hours as required by the state. These workshops are usually conveniently spaced in such a manner that it makes planning a vacation quite difficult. For some reason they want to meet up every wednesday in the middle of the day...because THAT'S convenient.
I'm not really complaining..it could be worse. It's just that people have a glorified view of teachers as having endless time off. Let me just say this...WE EARN IT. And no one would teach if they didn't have an extended period away from kids, no matter how much they love them.
Apart from my little part time teaching gig, I have been taking tons of pictures and practicing taking portraits. I had a lovely model last weekend who said I could post her picture! She's beautiful. Thanks Kalynn!
We stopped to take pictures by a fence...and while I was completely focused on getting a good shot. This guy snuck up behind me and got frisky with my neck. I think he needs some mouthwash.
