Back in Black!

Maybe not the black part, but I am back, and I love that song.  There's something about listening to AC/DC that makes me feel a little edgier than I actually am.  It's the same part of me that would love to get my nosed pierced or dye my hair some cute, yet very obviously unnatural color.  The only thing I actually do that is a crossover from my "edgy" side is wearing converse to work.  Ha.

I've realized that I love writing and I love writing about the things I hunger for, but I didn't realize that people were actually reading this.  Not like I'm getting mega traffic on here (which would be really amazing if it ever happened), but friends have casually mentioned "Hey.. what happened to your blog?  I liked it!" and things of that sort.

This project was a lovely distraction from things I don't like... you know - minor things like lesson planning and paper grading.  Unfortunately, it was such a great distraction that I felt like a total work slacker.  Even when my posts drifted, I continued to feel like a slacker.  So, this hungry panda is going to vow to keep some sort of balance.  It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

Join me on this journey that I call my third year of teaching and all the things I hunger for.
