Day of Thanks

It was the last day of the regular school year, and teachers and secretaries alike seemingly spent it thanking me right and left for what I've done for them and the students. A teacher with a broken foot even hobbled over to my office just to tell me how impressed she was that I returned a student that apparently frequently screams bloody murder to her classroom in good spirits after she came to me with a traumatizing split lip. Yay: it's nice to go out on a good note, feeling appreciated.

I'm off for two weeks, and then will be back in the saddle for the third week of summer school. In between, and afterward, unlike my last two summers, I have no serious plans. I predict a rotating  combination of the following: swimming, hiking, and hanging with the creatures of my house. (The cat can finally have full time immediate room service, as she's taken to meowing incessantly if there is not enough food in her bowl, her water isn't fresh enough, or the litterbox sand isn't stroked just right after cleaning.) I can't wait to get started.

Normally I would suggest you add me to your Google Reader or whatever you use so that you can pick this blog back up again after my break, but Google Reader is being put to the grave soon. Find a new RSS reader! See you in two weeks during summer school if I'm ambitious, otherwise look for me again in August, with a major change in my school assignments likely taking place (I'm slated to take over a high school). Happy summer!
