Anticipation of Fall

I'm on holiday right now in my uncle's home in Devon, UK. I love it here. I just flew back here to rest before I have my birthday (27...wait, I don't remember that I would getting this old!) and then head back to Beijing for another school year. I've been to England, France and Switzerland for my school break and now my mind is turned towards school again. It took everything in me not to buy office supplies in the stores in Switzerland... knowing that I would buy way too much to carry back in my rucksack and also paying way more than I needed too for certain items. I still might buy some highlighters anyway!

This blog started as something I was required to do for a master's course but I hope I can keep it up with small but funny posts about my upcoming first graders. I can't believe it will be 4 years of first grade when the bell rings this fall and 6 years of teaching. I feel OLD. But I love this time of year when everything is so NEW.
