I don't think it's procrastination... It's a Teacher's Life Cycle

It's June, and all teachers know what that means... SUMMER.  In fact, it's the end of June, which means it's that much closer to the END of summer. *sigh*

After six years of teaching, I've realized that I have a teacher's life cycle.  In the beginning of the school year, my entire focus is on teaching, so I stop doing other things that were once important (such as a blog). Then, as school breaks come, I become motivated to do things again. (So I re-start my blog...) Lastly, as class starts up again, I stop all things but school related things.  My reason for saying this is that it is summer vacation, and that's probably why I'm making an attempt at re-starting my blog. I really hope it will last, but unlike other times, I am not going to make promises.

I've realized my mistake from past attempts.  Unlike before, I am not going to promise to keep updating.      I can't promise to read other people's blogs, although I will as much as I can.  And I WILL NOT sign up to write promotional blog entries unless I truly feel comfortable that I can continue to blog long term.  It's not fair to the companies who send me products to try.

I've erased all unread mail messages, and will write when I want to, because once I feel this blog is a chore, I will stop.

So here's to starting fresh!!  I missed this. :-)
