I haven't disappeared... I just haven't been blogging

You can call me Mr. Cochran for the next 5 months. I'll probably need the practice.

A little over a month ago, I got the offer to teach math at Starkville Academy and I took it. I really am excited about it, but it will certainly be a challenge and a big change. I'll be teaching Calculus, Trig/Pre-cal and Statistics throughout the spring semester.

Monday, Monday... that's when it all goes down. So much of my mind has been directed towards this day I've not had time to think about much else. Truly, I need to direct my thoughts upwards more often lately. I always need strength from the Lord (although I deny it most of the time), but I am especially feeling needy lately. Monday has the potential to be the start of something really awesome. A chance to impact juniors and seniors that are going to hit college soon. I really hope to be able to be there for these students, but I also can't be their buddy. It just doesn't work that way it seems.

Lot's to think about, and I know it sounds weird, but I just want Monday to get here! Tired of thinking about it, know?

Happy New Year to you guys, I'm really hoping this one's better than the last.
