Ah Summer...

I've officially been on "summer vacation" for about six weeks now, but since I was working until the 20th of July and then had to attend a conference all about assessment (woohoo...I know you're jealous...especially if you're not a teacher and have no idea how a group of five hundred people could actually sit around and talk about how to properly assess and grade students for four days) last week, I'm counting this week as my first real week of summer.

I like it.

At first I kind of felt guilty because most days my big accomplishment and/or scheduled event is going to the gym, but as I've settled into book number six of the summer (and no, I didn't read all of them in the past few days) I've come to realize that there's really nothing to feel guilty about. Sure, I do have two and half months off every year, plus two weeks at Christmas, plus a week in March, plus every holiday off, but I work HARD when I'm at school and taking some time to lay by the pool and watch movies and completely veg out seems only fitting...at least for the next couple of weeks until the chaos begins again.

So yeah, it's summer vacation. Next week should be a bit more eventful...going camping. I'm sure it will yield some funny stories and a few pictures!

Back to the book. Adios.
