Georgia Football... cool weather... beautiful scenery...
What more could you ask for?! The trees are just now starting to change and it's gorgeous around here with the hills full of color. Just beautiful. I'm leaving to go home next Thursday for fall break and I can't wait to drive through the mountains. I think I'll hit it at just the right time to see all the colored trees.
Brock's done a little bit of travel here and there over the past month. Knoxville, Atlanta, and he leaves for Arkansas next week. He still in the adjustment stage of his new job, but he's getting there. Ya gotta learn the ropes first.
School's going pretty well for me. I'm enjoying math a lot more than I thought I would and I'm actually starting to hope that I have another math position next year so I can give it another shot. I got a good group of kids this year and I'm afraid that I'm going to be "that teacher" who cries on the last day of school! I've definitely learned a few things so far:
1. Kids love to call you out on things.
2. How to admit when I'm wrong.
3. What to do when I'm wrong...... Are you noticing a trend here?
Teaching has been a lot harder than I thought it would be. I work long hours on most weeknights and planning eats up my weekends, so I earn that paycheck, baby. Like my dad said, "Teachers are the very unappreciated...." I think I have to agree. I never knew how hard my teachers worked until I became one. But maybe I'm biased:)
I think I'm finally starting to get homesick now.
I missed Georgia, but it didn't really become a home "sickness" until I started really missing my family and friends. Don't get me wrong, I missed them from day one, but now it's to the point of almost unbearable. Brock got to see Mom, Dad, and Greg this week and I have to admit, I was a little jealous. I'm going home next week and I think it's going to be hard to go back. Brock divulged his "sickness" a few weeks ago, too. But I know there's a reason for everything and this is making us stronger together.
Here's a few Tucker pictures til the next time.
Love you all,
Laura
