When will I stop having teacher dreams? I just started teaching a week ago, and already all of my dreams are about teaching. Last night–thank God–I didn’t have another planning dream. But I had a dream where I was helping a kid dissect an octopus. And he was doing it wrong, but I was giving him positive encouragement. Yea, you’re doing great! You’re on the right track! Eesh, it’s only just started, but when will my life not be about teaching?

Teachers, I salute you. This job is hard.
