I'm beginning to feel a bit more hopeful about the future, which is symbolized by this image called Dawn. The symmetry and perfection of the graphic represents a feeling of cohesion and capability, something we have all lost during the past year. I've been able to complete some projects this week that were impossible to finish because I was distracted and unable to concentrate. A lot of this has happened because I was finally able to find an appointment for a vaccine, which is scheduled for tomorrow at 6:39pm. At the same time that I feel empowered by this, I am also disappointed that this pandemic has turned just about everything into a chore. It will be some time before we are once again able to enjoy our spontaneity together.

Today was the first day of work back in the school building. Everyone seemed like they were trying to be upbeat and positive...and it was nice to see friendly faces. But no one wanted to be there. There were utterances between individuals of fear and uncertainty. The paras I am working with (and I) found out today that one of the two classroom teachers we will be working with this year started quarantine today. She hadn’t had direct contact with anyone with COVID, but someone in her household had. So far, we don’t know of anyone else at our building going into quarantine.
