While You Were Teaching 4.9

Rainy Saturdays are the best for sitting back and catching up on the week. Here's what you missed.

I didn't realize how much buying a house distracted me from my students until the process was all over. It's not just that particular scenario, but when you're going through major life changes or struggles, you're a little distracted. Little is an understatment, but you just aren't as sharp with the day to day stuff as you otherwise would be when your attention is divided. I'm sure the students feel the same way. I'm much more empathetic now than  I was over the past few months. Even though I was going through teh same things, I was harder on them for not giving me 100% attention while I myself was distracted. It's been a very pot/kettle few months for me  I guess.

That said, last week was fun and I caught upnot just on last week, but the last few months that I've been in a haze trying to become a first time homeowner. It kicked off in a special way with the District 2 candidates sitting down with us last Sunday. You don't want to miss it!
