There's another place that ranks up there pretty high on my list of awesome... AT&T Park in San Francisco! Home of the amazing San Francisco Giants! I love the Giants and going to games. Something about being at the baseball park enjoying a cold beverage and some caramel corn is COMPLETELY relaxing. In the last couple years since moving back to Northern California, Giants games are something that I've worked to make a priority. In the late part of the school year (and summer) a baseball game is that little weekend pick-me-up that a girl needs.
The spring is a hectic time in the life of an ag teacher...
State degrees
Conferences
Proficiencies
Field trips
Fair animals
Fundraisers
Judging teams
Speakers
Agriscience
Etc, etc, etc. the list could go on....
But there's a little glimmer of relaxation for me in Giants games. It's a time to escape reality of responsibility, deadlines, phone calls and what not... It's an afternoon of orange and black bliss. Whether I attend the game with my parents or friends, it is always a great afternoon.
As weeks speed up, deadlines approach and my to-do list gets longer, I can't help but watch games on TV and wish I was there. That's my wisdom for the week-- we work too hard to not have something that helps us escape even if for just an afternoon, something that brings joy and relaxation to our lives. Because if we do not have a clear head and relaxed mind, we cannot fully educate students of what we know. Some of the most important things Ag teachers teach, occurs outside the classroom. In a world full of technology and everything being instant, take time to unplug and relax... Enjoy America's pastime, Baseball! Unless you're a dodgers fan... Well then you stink! Lol
Happy Wednesday!
