Birthday = More RAM

Happy birthday to me… Happy birthday to me… Happy birthday day to more RAM… Happy birthday day to me… And many more….

Yup.  Just turned 32 (+10 years, you do the math) and got more RAM for my birthday.  Yes.  I do have a practical side and I like how my computer thinks a little faster now… thank you honey… but I also like the metaphor.  When I think of more RAM, I think of a dodge truck or fluffy animal with horns.  It’s been almost 2 years since I left the practice to pursue my academic studies and other means of educational leadership.  I think by now, I have transitioned and I am making progress on my dissertation.  Albeit, it is not done… but there is progress.  From 2 years ago, my research project has taken a 180… so has my perspective.  Two years ago, I was at the face of burnout.  Today, I feel like I can save the world… just like any “new teacher” would.  My bubble has been restored and yes… I’ve got more RAM.  I love public education.  I love teaching and learning.  I love mathematics education.  I love professional development.  I love educational leadership.  I have fallen in love again… Happy birthday to me.
