Work in Progress

I think I may have used this title previously, but whatever, it's still true.

The return to work after my vacation a few weeks ago was a really tough one. Like...near constant panic attacks and several consecutive nights of insomnia rough. My breaking point came last Friday, when I was working from home and thankfully, my mom was home to keep me from a complete break down. She finally agreed that my job probably makes me more miserable than it's really worth. It's just always reassuring to get that kind of affirmation from your mom, you know?

So, this Saturday, I'm going to take the first part of the MTEL. It's just the first part, so I'll have more tests to take, and I'll have a certification to get at some point. But what it comes down to is that teaching is the job I've been missing for the better part of 10 years now, and I am ready to head back to it.

I know this isn't the most thrilling entry I've ever written, but that's what's up around these parts.
