As a teacher, I enjoy the breaks that most people leave behind when they grow from student to adult. Thanksgiving is sometimes an entire week, Christmas and New Years allows me two weeks, and we know how much teachers enjoy their summers! The second semester, however, is a long, epic, tiring battle complete with cramming for testing, mock testing, and actual state testing (Texas Education, anyone?) I think Spring Break is sweeter for its timing during the part of year when we are all (students, teachers, parents, administrators, etc.) burned out. Yes, Spring Break is our oasis in the desert that is the second semester.
My Spring Break has been refreshing and fun. While we did not plan a getaway vacation, we did make many day trips and had a memorable time. Lucky for us, Texas living means that we are enjoying 80 degree weather! Each day we enjoyed some time by the pool. Getting back to school will be hard. But it's all downhill from here!
