It's a wrap

The school year is over. There are mixed emotions at the end of an academic term: exhaustion, gratitude, and satisfaction. I also have a profound sense of emptiness. The classroom is physically emptied of students. My calendar is emptied of appointments (for a few days). The energy and spirit in my gas tank is also emptied. I am so tired. Another chapter closes. This chapter leaves me with more questions than answers, but I'll turn the page. Summer school starts Wednesday.
