Some things don’t change even if you haven’t taught in a public school for a year. I could time five minutes with my eyes closed and and never even look at a clock. Suddenly, I’m on hall duty again and I’m reminding students to get to class. Five minutes is a passing period and it goes faster when you’re trying to open a jammed locker (or trying to sneak a kiss).
What would I try to remember about 2010? Too many things. So many things. What a beautiful time amidst the chaos. I am beginning to realize, though, that life is like that. And while five minutes can go by quickly when you’re rushing to class, it can go even faster when you’re trying to remember all the things you want to preserve in your memory.
