Counting the days

21 days and counting.

I can not WAIT for school to be over for the year. The kids are being complete animals and I can't completely blame them. I want to be done just as much (maybe more) than they do. My seniors checked out weeks ago and unfortunately they took some of my sophomores and juniors with them. I am tired. I am worn out. I am ahead of schedule with my English II classes (almost a book and a half ahead of the other English II teacher) and therefore will have two or three weeks where I have to figure out what to do with them since we'll be finished with all our novels and don't have a "regular" textbook for the class.

I waaaaaaannnnnntttt it to be summer (whine, whine).

Seriously, I want it to be summer so even if I am working (as I will be to make some extra cash) I don't go home with papers to grade or lessons to write. I can stay up and out later because my job doesn't require much brain power beyond answering the telephone and scheduling appointments. I can go to all the shows I want without feeling like I'm overextending myself. I'll have time to practice guitar and read trashy (or just "not-school") books. I can watch tv and movies without feeling guilty...it's gonna be great. *Sigh* just 21 more days...

Ok, enough whining. As they all are, busy week coming and going. Thursday Jon and I went to see Spiderman 3. It wasn't the greatest movie I've seen, but it was still a good evening. Friday we went to the Blind Pig to see Mando Diao (eh, ok) and I had popcorn thrown at me by idiotic and drunk guys. Morons. Saturday was a trip to visit Jon's fam and meet one of his brothers and sister in law. It was a really fun day and I have to say he has a great family. Very welcoming.

And for this week? School (of course), Friday is the Billy Talent show that got rescheduled from a month or so ago and then Saturday we're going to the Ansel Adams exhibit at the DIA. I think it's gonna be a good weekend. Is it wrong that it's only Tuesday and I'm already looking forward to it? ;)
