Bye Bye Freedom

In 2 hours, my winter break will be terminated. I jumped into the break having no plans and no expectations. All I planned to do was work on my Lesson Plans and think about school. Thank goodness life got in the way and I ended up having a great break. I cannot help but to look back at what an awesome, random, spontaneous break I had. I met so many new people, and reconnected with long lost friends and family. Here is a super lighting speed recap of my 2 week break, where grumpy Ms. Quane was back to happy Kellee again:

Holiday party with work friends; Went to the Graduate Bar...amazingness!; Roommates leave for the east coast...tear; fabulous brunch with Justin; drive to San Jose, then Fremont, then Sutter's Creek, then finally TAHOE with Aldene, Bri, Matt, and 2 dogs; snowboarded at Heavenly on my new SNOWBOARD; Christmas eve Chinese style at Auntie Marty's with festivities and the family; Talk about work to every relative; Laurel's birthday; Hang with Tara; Chill at home for a day before I go back to Berkeley; Tahoe numero dos with Laurel and her friends; worked on my JUMPS (balla status); Back to Berkeley; then San Jose to see Elaine before she goes back (that you so much for the book donations Elaine for my students!); Quane Hill; Berkeley; New Years in San Francisco with Laurel and friends (fun night!); lonely day alone in Berkeley (thank you Laurel for saving me from myself); roommates are back from the east coast (woohooo); went back to the Graduate with N; Berkeley; Laurel's for dinner; sitting behind my computer procrastinating and reminiscing on what a wonderful, crazy, random, memorable winter break I had.

Back to the grind. For some reason I am not anxious or worried. It is either because I am in denial and I can't believe that I have to say Bye Bye to my Freedom and go back to the daily grind, or, I am finally getting better at this teaching thing. We'll find out after tomorrow!

-Ms. Quane
