The sun has returned to the NW and in full force. It's amazing how the sun can make you want to storm the world and be out in nature all day long, but then make you soooo sleepy you need to retreat to the inside and recoup for your next adventure. I'm kinda like that now - school has reached a holding pattern (meaning that I have caught up with 80 percent of my work and all I really have to do in the next four days is finish reading a book I am teaching starting next week - Snow Falling on Cedars......anyone have any lesson plans for this little/400 page ditty?). But never fear, I have tests in all of my classes next week so the stress will return. However I do have to work tomorrow, Saturday, because I am helping out with some service in the morning (ahhh, the Catholic schools and their service requirement. which isn't really a bad thing I think - all staff need to go to one service project a year and I had to miss my last project because of another school related thing, so here I am) AND chaperoning prom in the evening. Full day with about 3 hours of free time inbetween 7am and 11pm. The sucky part of school service - YOU DON'T GET PAID EXTRA. Normal jobs you would, but schools got you when you sign the contract. Which I did for next year, but I don't know what classes I am teaching - only Yearbook so far.
Yet, the weekend looks sunny as well so hopefully Sunday I can be a normal person and enjoy the outside :). Then only FIVE MORE WEEKS till summer. Now starts the most difficult part of the school year.......
On a separate note, I biked to work today! And I didn't fall off. That is a cause for celebration!
ps - sorry about all the caps lock. i'm trying to be chipper on this Friday morning and appear to have more energy than i really have.
