Letter to Future Me! *Warning: Letter May Contain Dangerous Levels of Snark and Wittiness* (9)

Dear FutureMe,

It is not really December fist when you wrote this - it is/was November 30, 2016. I hope at this point, you are not such a horrible procrastinator, but knowing you/me, we will be getting around to procrastinating less sometime next year. HAHAHA WE AM SO FUNNY! :D

Seriously though, Nature of schools has been insightful, if a bit confusing at times. Remember how we learned so much about the education system in general? About the different kinds of schools, and how you, despite the pros and cons of it, still wanted to be a public school teacher? Remember how you discovered in your observations and in teaching, that you have a great propensity for bonding with your class, and developing a good teacher-student relationship? Now poke yourself in the head and let it deflate, and remember that, again, you are a horrible procrastinator, and we, back now, hope that you have made at least some progress on that because you hopefully remember how useful you found planning better to be now and then! If you haven't, then get off your behind and do a bit more of that time-budgeting-type-plan-y-stuff! It helps to streamline things and leave you less confused later! We hope that your views on educational philosophy have been serving you well, and that your students are asking you more questions than you can shake a stick at - that's how you know that you are doing it right, after all!

Best wishes, and most blunt reminders,
- Derek

P.S. Whose name did you think would be at the bottom of this letter? Wow, you really must be as forgetful as we give ourselves credit for, if you are actually reading this. Even if you aren't, you can't say anything snarky back to past you, so I guess that means that you win! Wait... that's not..... aw whatever, we both know we are just having some fun now anyway!
