Summer Vacation Is Here

At 2 pm today, I am blowing this popsicle stand for two weeks of not coming to school and being constantly worried one of my students will be sick or get me and others sick.

Since school started on June 1, it has been overwhelmingly stressful. The constant fear of illness, of keeping safe, of not seeing my friends but having to come to school every day and face the unknown, has just been too much.

So I am hoping that the next two weeks I am taking off will help me recharge and refocus. I want to have the space to write but at the same time I think I could also use the space to not do a damn thing either.

Here’s to summer vacation! Cheers!
