Taking a sebatical

A very smart young man gave me some food for thought a little bit ago. I've had a talk with the principle and the superintendent of the school and I will be taking a small leave of absence from being a teacher. I'll still be coaching boys tennis because it's something I love and can't make myself step away from, but the rest of my time, I've decided to use to go back to school.

I've decided to try for a degree in youth counselling, since I do so much of it already. It shouldn't take me too long since I have a lot of credits already out of the way from my teaching and my chemistry degrees. Still, it's going to be weird. I'll probably be older than most of the students in my class.

Also... I want to learn to do this!

I can do card tricks and sleight of hand because I learn that as a kid for a talent show, but this is just so cool and I want to learn it!
