Yay for Summer!

Two thousand and nine

could prove to be one of the

best summers ever!

It's ridiculously amazing how much difference a week makes in one's outlook on the whole teaching thing. I'm also ridiculously pumped about recent ongoings and getting ready to be abroad.

***EDIT: I use the word ridiculous a lot. Such is my life (I wish!)

Stranded

There are three cars outside the house... I have a driver's license and the keys to each vehicle... so why am I stuck at home???

1. My car won't start/ turn over... it's definitely not the battery and this could be the end of the Explorer which will really make me sad :(

2. My mom's battery is dead (and perfectly capable of being jump started... alas my jumper cables aren't long enough to reach).

3. I can't dive a standard (nor would I really want to climb through the window of FSS's car in a dress in the rain...).

So much for a productive first day of summer!

Happy Summer

It's been a long year. Oxford in 19 days! I guess I need to get over counting down the days and start ticking off pages left to read...

I will finish The Turn of the Screw tonight... and hopefully Wuthering Heights by the weekend. I've already read Beloved, Hamlet, and Hotel World but not recently enough to avoid them altogether. Then there's the matter of the books of short stories... (and the one that has pictures in it...) Total page count: 2070 (771 from the three previously read books and 500 in one of the SS anthologies). All in all, not too bad.

The tick tock of the clock is painful...

I think Eve 6 said it best... I can't believe how slow the day is going. I've been at school for a little over 2 hours and I've finished everything I need to finish. If it weren't for a meeting I need to attend this afternoon, I'd have been out of here hours ago (or not shown up at all)!

How slow is the day?
Seconds creeping to minutes...
Hours don't happen.
