I'm hoping. I'm almost through my first year as a teacher, which is also always the hardest year. In my particular situation, I have to plan lessons for four grades, which is well in excess of what I'd have to plan if I was in a public school, plus the paperwork that comes with being a special-ed teacher. (Each student has an Individualized Education Program, and all but a handful have reading and/or writing goals, which I'm in charge of monitoring and updating, so that's a big chunk of time as well.) Next year, I'll have materials already made, and my kids' IEPs will be updated to my standards (some of the goals they brought with them from other schools are ... O.O. Just really inappropriate.) Bobby and I have talked a lot about working actively to set aside creative time for me. So I'm hoping ... and counting the days till the end of the school year! :) We're getting there! :)

B2MeM has been popular for the past few years, but this year has really knocked my socks off. I think we've about tripled the number of participants. I never imagined so many people would want to play fandom bingo! :D I'm happy it's taken off as it has, and it gets us warmed up for the inevitable surge of activity once the Hobbit movie is out! :)
