I realized today that when I post, I tend to ramble. I sometimes ask for advice when I do this, but most of the time, I'm just venting, trying to get out all of the thoughts and emotions going through me at the time, and trying to make sense of it all. It occurred to me that perhaps I should start a blog here instead of boring others and expecting a reply in the Teacher's Lounge. So here it is--my first blog entry. I know that the blog feature here on PT is a bit messed up, so I don't expect anyone to read this right now. I'm mainly experimenting to see if this actually works. Perhaps the next time my mind is swimming with thoughts, I will post again with deeper, more thought provoking musings. But for now, thank you for reading what is essentially the equivalent of "testing one, two."
