Lesson #3164 - In Honor Of My Students

I'm beginning to feel the weird teacher-y not-quite-but-kind-of empty nest syndrome feeling and it's helping me to think of the students as members of some overall cast and who knows, maybe next season will be just as good? (With our co-op schedule meaning that students are gone from campus for regularly 6 to 8 months at a time, calling the students "semi-recurring characters" is particularly apt.) The teacher version of empty nest is really weird and hard to explain but I'm certain I'm not alone in how it hits me.
