Two more days!

Two days of school and then a glorious 5 days off. I can't wait. These next two days can't go fast enough and they'll be a total joke since the kids will be bananas and impossible to deal with for the most part. I've got the planning done, all the Crucible essays graded and now it's just to keep them as in line as possible for the next 48 hours. It'll be a bit like herding cats I think. This is the first real break we've had since school started in the middle of August, so it's very exciting.

I think things finally got sorted in terms of Thanksgiving dinner, who will be where, when etc. It was pretty stressful for a bit though and I got sick of being stuck in the middle running messages between my mom and brother. I finally told him I wasn't going to try and guess what she was thinking and he had to speak directly with her. I think that worked.

Not too much else of interest going on really. Jon and I met for brunch at Aut Bar which was fun. Definitely a different atmosphere than when we went at Halloween. I covered the Hawthorne Heights show on Thursday night (a bit of an adventure, but I'll tell it another time). I'm mostly posting because I heard through the grapevine that Sarah, who is off in Nepal being a real anthropologist (go Sarah!) enjoys reading about our mundane little lives over here :) So, Hi Sarah! We miss you! Sorry I can never IM you because everything is firewalled at school!

Happy early Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you all survive the first round of the holidays :)

PS-I've been watching the AMAs tonight and have to say that I find it relatively uninspiring. I was interested to see Taylor Swift's performance because everyone has gone so ga-ga over her but her performance was pretty lackluster. I don't know if there was a sound mixing problem or what, but her voice sounded thin and was drowned out by all the other instruments. I also have a guilty confession. I kinda like that song Pink performed. Does that make me a bad person? :)
