While I still had a few more days of work left, today was my last day with students. It felt a little weird to end the semester in December. In the past, we always carried the semester over into January, leaving time to grade and time to plan on catching up on what was missed. However, this year was strangely new, as I left campus knowing that the stress of the school year was lifted. I met up with an alum after school as we chatted about how things were going in life and our typical banter on sports. It's always great to catch up, picking up where we left off last. I ventured home and cooked for my parents, as the time I had allowed me to feel so free. With the way the year ended, I also volunteered to make the starting lineup videos early, so I got to work so that they could have something special for the game. It's weird how things flowed this year and even more strange how they ended, but as strangely new as it was, I have been receptive to it, as there are many pros to this setup. As I wrapped up my grading, only leaving some cleaning and odds and end, I smiled knowing that when we come back in January, we will start anew. Life has its cycles, but sometimes when they change, instead of that challenging adjustment you may think is coming, sometimes you'll find things flowing better than before.
