Return

I anticipated that the overall atmosphere of my classes would be exhaustion and dread, the students having woken up earlier than they probably had in the two weeks they were off, not to mention the context of what they were getting up for...school. As I walked down the hallways while the sea of children crashed down them, I was surprised to be greeted with enthusiastic tones and friendly smiles.

The day continued to be just as pleasant as it began, with student eager to share stories about their breaks and I have to say, I learned a lot. Most notably, that if you hold a chicken upside down it calms down but that theory isn't applicable to other animals like cats.

I told the students that I had missed them and that I was anxious to return, and oddly I found myself meaning it.
