So, 6 weeks is really nothing in my profession and I'm completely over worked, as it is. I need the summer in order not to completely burn out . . . I could go on, but I'll spare you the lecture . . . lol . . . just be very, very, very careful what you wish for. If you knew what I had to do in order to get this 6 week "vacation," during which I will also have to prepare classes for the fall, write, and do my own "work," and what I have to continue doing . . .
I love what I do, but it's not at all easy at times (and this is one of those times).
AMEN!!! 7th grade English teacher here! Only 11 more class days to go and I have 11 weeks to recoup. I get to spend those 11 weeks with my beautiful twins who will be 4 the 30th of June.
I don't know if I could last without the promise of a summer vacation.
