Wednesday was my first day back as profesora. Here are my school supplies : My J. Crew Uptown Tote in Metallic, water bottle, diet coke, and my subjunctive materials. I am a J. Crew lover and this bag is a grown up alternative to my J. Crew Madaket tote in yellow.

One of the things I love about being a profesora de español is that I get to start over every couple of months. New slate for me and for my estudiantes. YAY! I love the new semester, especially in the spring when newness is in the air and summer is not so far away.

The only sad thing about going back to la universidad is that Norman had a tough time today. If you notice my zapatos, they do not make the same noise as my flip flops or tennis shoes do on the tile, so before I even needed to encourage him, he retreated to his little apartment (aka cage). The click clack of my zapatos meant I was going somewhere without him. :(

Although I am a profesora, this semester I am also una estudiante. I am squeezing in a French class from one of my colleagues. I love French! My love affair began when I was 12 and is still strong. We all have heard the expression, "you'll lose it if you don't use it" and I don't want to lose it!

I have a lot on my plato this semester but I am excited and motivated to get it all done. Like I said before, new beginnings, fresh starts, are so promising and uplifting. Even if you don't accomplish all that you set out to do in a month, semester, or year, it's always fun giving it a shot.
