I was trying to respond to Terri's post. I just started my third year of teaching and I am currently taking my last two classes. I think once we are no longer taking classes, we will regain a portion of our life back. Right now so much of time is devoted to completing classwork on the weekends. There are many weekends I arrive home Friday night and don't go out all weekend, except to grocery shop. This is not fun. For me, December 14 will come and the classes will be done. I hate to wish time away, but I feel like once the classes are complete I can concentrate on teaching, instead of running to try to catch up. I can also get to know my family again.
