right now...

It's raining a sweet summer-night rain.
I cracked the window open just enough to enjoy the wet air.
The smell makes me smile.
I love summer rain.
I am finishing up some procrastinated homework in between visits to Pinterest. Dang it is so addicting!
The events of this week are scribbled all over my calendar that is spread open on the floor next to me. I'm mentally walking my way through each day trying to not get to overwhelmed. Maybe I'll just close my planner for right now...
A full calendar is a good thing though, it means I do in fact have places to go and people to see.
Even with a million things to do with homework, stressing over tuition ($$$ouch!) and trying to get my classroom somewhat ready, I am trying my hardest to not forget how incredibly blessed and lucky I am to have this opportunity. The late nights of homework and the stress-filled tears may someday go away but the priceless things I will learn and the memories I will make throughout my first year of teaching will stay with me forever. I suppose it would be quite strange if I felt 100% confident in my level of readiness for the fast approaching school year, at least that's what I keep telling myself, but I know I still have a lot to learn and am more than anxious to do just that.
Life really is good.
Why do I seem to forget that some days?
