It's easier said than done to just step aside, so like, that's super good advice, but not actually always easy to do.

I'm feeling just... bad. Not ICly necessarily but all over. It means I can't play Kenna like I want to, and Norwood's kinda shrunk to just his family. (This is ALL ON ME, NOT ON ANY ONE ELSE. Laurent/Keaton/Everyone has been amazing and I'm so happy when you guys go "COME DO THIS THING.") I just wish I could reciprocate with ideas and such. So I keep hanging around (literally, I'm sleeping 12-15+ hours a day right now) hoping something will strike me or I'll be letting people down.

Like, I have the time to play, shouldn't I be doing it? How crappy is it that it's summer, and I'm 100% accessible, and I'm RPing LESS than I did at the height of getting my master's degree, in the middle of a multi-state move, or even state testing time?

I need to plan for next year but since I'll be in a new grade and classroom I'm not quite sure exactly what to do solid.

I've a few things I can do, like buy some communal supplies at the sales. (I like them all having at least ONE notebook/folder the same color so I can say x-color and it is universally understood.) That said, I miss the days that Staples and OfficeDepot/Max ignored their limits on their sale items if you showed proof you were a teacher. Instead I spent today traveling to different stores so I could get a full class set plus extra for the kiddos I know I'll get mid-year so that they feel included from day one even if they don't have their supplies.

There is a book I usually reread too, but my students last year were so responsible packing up the classroom stuff on the last day that they totally packed up both of my copies and I can't get into the building till the 28th. Even then, I have been told that the teacher before me left a bunch of stuff in the room, PLUS the custodians dumped all of the stuff from my old room to the new room even if it was marked to stay. So I know I have a tooonnnn of work to get my room into working order and get my replacement's stuff back to her.

Basically, I want to go back to work. Summer is about 4 weeks too long for me.

@AeriaNyx

That would track. I think Tessa's one of the few people Norwood was ever legit afraid of.

@Thenomain

I don't remember exactly how Norwood ended up with that nickname now. Other than it made him choke and blush so badly. so much.
