Been a while since I last updated, which isn't a surprise considering the job craziness. The end of the first quarter, coupled with parent-teacher conferences, and some various other new school initiatives have kept me pretty damn busy.

I'm a little bummed that I haven't been able to keep up my study of Buddhism during the last few weeks. I was really starting to get into it, and now it seems like there's no time to do the kind of focused study I would like. Part of me wants to drop everything and move to China for a few months. Man, that would be impulsive. But I've got a responsibility to my students.

And I suppose that's one of the reasons I've been thinking about getting out of education. Although I love the profession and the responsibility that comes with it, sometimes I wish I could go a day without feeling like I always had to be on, like I could never be in a bad mood or have a shitty day. I think there are few professions where you are counted on to be a model of behavior in all ways.
