This will be a short post. Last night I had one of the worst headaches I’ve had in months. Medicine and sleep didn’t phase it all day yesterday. I’m hoping it will be better today.
The good news is that I am giving my last exam today. If they all pass the class, I will have no more students until August 12. I still have a teacher workday tomorrow, but that’s just taking care of some administrative loose ends. I am so glad that this year is over. I’ve had some of the worst students I’ve ever dealt with this year, and luckily, most of them are graduating tomorrow night.
About Joe
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.
