Like all students and teachers, I look forward to summer break. Counting down the days at the end of the year. I love not having to set an alarm or come up with lesson plans. It is a nice break from work to charge my batteries and have some free time.

But at the same time I hate summer break. After the first week of break, when the initial joy of sleeping in wears off, depression sets in. Now my circumstances are different than most teachers, I'm a single male bachelor with no kids, which is part of the issue. I'm just alone all the time. And when I am alone all I do is overthink and over analyze everything going on in my life until I drive myself crazy. Could I get a summer job or teach summer school? Yes, but I stubbornly don't want to give up the freedom of summer that I have earned, even if it is very isolating most of the time.

Anyways these have just been some ramblings. It is summer and I am currently sad.
