Where has the time gone?

OK, so it was only yesterday that I said to myself, "I know I didn't blog tonight, but I'll do it tomorrow and I'll make it extra-good to make up for skipping a night". Wow... that was like 3 weeks ago. Sorry I've been such a procrastinator. I have the best intentions, but life seems to keep getting in the way....

Anyway, has anyone else noticed just how fast the weeks are flying by? I was gearing myself up for a loooooooong semester, but we're already to the end of the 4th six weeks. We have a month until Spring Break, and after that, only a month to the TAKS test. And then a month until school's over. When I first started teaching, I thought my age would just kinda "freeze"... I mean, when I'm teaching to my kids, I definitely don't feel like I'm 24. I feel pretty young, and I assume that feeling will continue because even though I'll get older, the kids will always be 12 and 13. But teaching's a tricky thing... even though I don't feel like I'm getting any older, time is going faster than I think it ever has in my life. If you want your year to fly by, plan everything 3 weeks at a time -- by the time you realize 3 weeks have gone by, it's time to plan again.

Hopefully that argument will hold up for the summer... like, if I don't plan much, it'll seem much much longer!! :)
