3:15-3:45 Help Class---(M T TH) On Wednesday I try and go home right at 3:30 and Friday by 4 I want to hit Starbucks and go home

AFTER SCHOOL

I try and go home relax, maybe go to the store, currently I have started to walk....cook dinner eat, watch TV, and grade a mountain of papers.....by 11:00 I am in bed MOST of the time


Teaching is an exhausting career, but I do love every moment of it,.
