The End is Near

The school year is rapidly coming to its conclusion. I think I overestimated my ability to cope with the abuse teachers take on a daily basis. While most of my students have been good int he six months I've been teaching again, there are some who excel at driving me to fits of tears when I get home. So, teaching is going okay. My love life is a bit more balanced, even though I am not in a committed relationship just yet. I have a few prospects. I think what I am truly looking for is someone who will support me and care for me they way my best friend does. While some friends think I should just date the best friend, that will NOT happen. The reason our loyalty, friendship, and deep emotions for each other work so well is this....there is NOTHING romantic there.
