Day 2,528 —Sometimes it Pays to be a Teacher — (with Zombies and Leaves)

Sleeping in until 6:15 a.m., getting to run while the sun is still up, nothing to grade, no one to teach, no lessons to plan—It is good to be on spring break. 

It is times like this that I can be thankful for being a teacher. A large part of the time I wonder if it is too late for me to figure out how to do something else, but then the breaks roll around, and I remember how nice it is to have regular time off. It would probably benefit every industry to give more paid time off to their workers, but until that happens sometimes it pays to be teacher.
