Eight days left....

So apparently this is the new way to keep people in the loop about what my life has offered me. My first-graders are forcing me to keep my head on straight as the school year simultaneously comes to end with the beginning of my trek to south africa. my flight leaves in 8 days, just an hour after my students get on the bus the last day of school. seriously.

i've never read - and certainly never written - a web log. yes, i know they call them "blogs" these days. any feedback is appreciated. if and when i get going on this, it will only be a result of your encouragement.
