My Sheepish Return

Wow - I was not expecting to have such a long break between my posts. I was away for a while, and for the rest of the absence I just didn't have anything that I wanted to put on paper.

The start of work is looming again. How quickly the summer goes. The start of a new school year is always an interesting one. I adore my job and yet there is that pang of sadness everytime a summer ends. I think that part of it is the fact that there is a large amount of stress involved with the beginning of the year. Meeting new students, re-establishing guidelines and expectations...and realizing that your really didn't get a head start in the summer like you had hoped.

I am directing a musical for the first time which is making me quite nervous. There is a TON of extra stuff to worry about with a musical...and I manage to put so much pressure on myself to excel. I am hoping to find a better balance this year - I need to make sure that there is life outside of the school between September and June.
