the grind

to quote a student, "summer now feels like it was one long weekend."

absolutely. back in the grind, and it's SLOW. i'm having a terrible time waking up and keeping my voice during the day, but thank the Lord for small mercies -- at least the kids don't seem that poopy. for the most part, they're pretty upbeat, all things considered.

that being said, if i get one more repeater, i am going to scream.

**sidenote: many thanks to my lovely team for taking wonderful care of me this week.
