The inconsistent rate that I'm posting these months only consistently matches my inconsistent rate to respond to emails and phone calls. The summer months have flown by and as I reflect back there was a lot of wasted time. Personally, time wasted does not mean doing absolutely nothing...I've come to realize that sometimes these moments of doing nothing are not only the most vital but the most necessary for production. Of course if we want to engage into the discussion about production and consumerism then we could go on for hours....so, let's not. A friend responded that us teachers talk more than anyone about "productivity" especially in regards to our summer months. These next two weeks mark the last few days before beginning a brand new year. In an effort to become more disciplined I've decided to journal much more...some privately, some publicly. It'll be my best effort to post between two to three times a week. Some may only include pictures or a summary of recent events but I'll make an effort whatever the posts. I remember a time back in college where I would recall my experiences to a girlfriend of mine...as my tale of the experience would unfold it would run much like reading a schedule. Her response was typically the same idea, "okay, but what was most important to you?" This always puzzled me and it was a while before realizing my explanation of the days and experiences in my life more or less were only event focused...in time I would learn how to communicate more. Perhaps the same growth can be experienced through here in time.

Over the summer Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released. Seeing this release is a mark in history and we are the lucky ones who get to see it all. The ending was very satisfactory for me and the themes and power of the epic is over...but I'm excited to one day share it with others who have yet to read this story, the joys of an educator continue on.
