It seems fitting that this blog entry sandwiches my first post in Chicago. Fitting because looking back on the last two years I quite literally had no time to think, to reflect, to write. When I got into teaching everyone told me that the most important thing to do during my first years of teaching is to write. And even though the most important and successful aspect of my teaching "career" (mini-career) was my ability to reflect on my effectiveness, I spent all of my reflection on teaching, and none on me.
So here I am with four weeks left staring in the face of a vastly neglected blog.
Another force propelling me towards memorializing is that I turn 24 tomorrow. This number is a little scary and unfamiliar to me. I don't quite identify with it yet, though I suppose I don't need to until tomorrow. The mid-twenties mark does seem an appropriate time to return to blogging. Maybe my mid-twenties with them will bring with them more wisdom and wit.
