Mom, have we atoned yet?

Bullet point summary:
·Tonight's Back-to-School Night was awesome. They laughed at my jokes, but not at my translations (always a plus).
·New glasses! Although threetimes pointed out that now I look even more like the chick from Ghost World.
·We wowed the LIN 406 folk yesterday with our fabulous presentation of a phonemic word wall and our persuasive argument for an early childhood literacy program based upon phonemic awareness and sound-spelling correspondence.
·Teach For America Bay Summit this Saturday, at which many grad schools and public interest organizations will be wooing us beyond our current oh-so-lucrative placements (there's a life after TFA?).
·L'Shanah Tovah!

Emily, I've been meaning to get caught up on your journal and now I finally am. It's good, no? It's good, yes. (Ignore me, that has recently become my favorite thing to say!)

I haven't been here too much lately. I'm so busy writing up my practical life folder. Remember how good that felt? Place the thumb of your right hand on the top of the handle and the forefinger and middle finger of your right hand on the inside of the handle...

Er. Yes. Practical Life.

I'm going nuts! *flops*

How ever did you handle it all? I cannot see the horizon at the moment, I cannot see an ending to this. Certainly not a happy one.

I'm glad you are well. =)

Tara

It's good, yes.

Hello again! Thanks for reading.

Yes, Practical Life can only end in tears. But in Real Life®, we realize that we have been moving the whole time, sailing towards the horizon, savoring the adventures to come.
