DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS

I've spent the first few days of Spring Break hiding out in my apartment because I hate wearing my glasses outside. Why must I wear my glasses, you ask? Because as an elementary school teacher, you encounter many different kinds of illnesses, and so far I've been exposed to and caught colds that last for months, whooping cough, and strep throat. And now, I'm dealing with pink eye. Gross. My glasses are so outdated and really unbecoming (I think), and they're a bit bent from one time I accidently sat on them, so I'm cooped up inside for now. Not the best start to the vacation....
But, last night I gave my presentation for my Master's course I'm currently in, and whew it feels good to be done with that! There are photos of the final project I completed with the help of my students (and here's how it started), as well as close up on the small details. I love to think they were making their mark like graffit, that's what it reminds me of. They were allowed to draw anything, write anything, whatever they wanted to do. I'm so thrilled with the way it turned out! This project has been taking up a huge chunk of my time, and I'm hoping to get back to regular life with my project complete (and this eye sickness resolved...) and with regular blogging. For now, enjoy a horrible photo of me in my specs.
