So, I finally declare the end and all I can think about is funny things to post?
Today: I am reading the same book as one of my more adorable students. He’s “emo”, one of the only ones in the class. He’s got long, choppy hair that looks like it’s right out of a Naruto novel and he’s really short so he often ends up peering up at me through his choppy bangs. He looks at me and asks “What page are you up to today?” I tell him. ”Ah! I’m 3 paragraphs ahead of you!” He’s so excited, it’s hard not to be amused.
Later today: Same kid as above. We are writing historical journals, they made intricate characters and have to respond to historical events, with letters or journal entries, as that character. I ask him how he’s doing and he responds, ‘My character has been on a trip and so I’m writing a letter to my wife to tell her I miss her and tell her all about the Boston Massacre!” So cute. You might have to be there, but seriously, this shit is getting me through the day to day…

Thank the godz — that this stuff is amusing you and getting you through the day, and that you’re back to writing. You’ve been missed… and I can just see the line up of commenters who will be saying the same as soon as I post this.
I figured that getting back to school would be the biggest thing that would, day by day, start to bring the fact that your life is waiting for you and it’s good, after the events of the last little while.

What’s an “emo”? And yes, I’m so happy you are back to your site. It’s been a rough time, a busy time, an exhausting time, and maybe posting helps lift your spirits. Apparently it does a lot to lift the spirits of your readers!!
