Something Different

I saw this on another blog I read and thought it was different and since I don't have anything too interesting to write, I thought I'd put this on here. Click on it and see if you agree with me.

So close... yet it seems SOOOOOOOOOO FAAAAAARRRR AWAYYYYYYY

:) I only have 8 more days of working with children at school. It's getting sooo close but it still feels like it will never get here haha. I'm having fun these last few days though because we are not doing as much work. We are practicing a lot for our concert and taking stuff down in the room to get ready to send it home with the kids. Also, next week we'll have an extra set of hands because we got one of the subs to come in and help us get the kids ready for the concert. The concert should be interesting. A bunch of 4 and 5 year olds on stage for the first time ever singing songs for their parents and the kindergarten and first grade classes. I'm excited haha. It just stinks that the concert is the same time as Korey's graduation. I'm glad his parents and grandparents are coming so that someone will be there. I wish I could go but I was originally told not to come "it's not worth coming to"... so then the concert got scheduled that day, and I said that was fine. Now I wish I could see him graduate but he says it's okay. So anyhow.. enough about that.
It's been so nice and warm here. I think i'm going to go to the beach this weekend. This weekend starts our first wave of visitors for the summer. But I'm sure I've already talked about all this so I'm going to go now haha. Not much else is going on, but I'll write more later!

The Countdown is On

Now that I know there will be no kids after the 25th, I'm only counting down until that day. So.. I have 13 more days of school left. After those 13 days I get Memorial day off and i'm taking the Tues., Wed., And Thurs., after Memorial day off since there are no kids and I'm going home. School is not officially over until June 3rd though, and since I am getting paid up until June 3rd and I'm under contract, I still have to go to school until June 3rd. So... after I get back from my trip home i still have to go into school for a few days. I'll probably be testing kids for the program next year or helping clean out the room. At least 2 of those days are 1/2 days. It just stinks though because Lisa and Ashley are following us back down here and staying with us for a bit and I don't want to have to go in to school those days.. but oh well.
At least with this countdown I don't feel like I am wishing my life away like I did when I was counting down student teaching. Student teaching was just so miserable I could not wait for it to be over just so it was over. I'm counting down now because I am just so excited to be spending the summer here with no work to do. I'm used to working all summer and this is the first time in awhile I won't have to... but i'll still be getting paid! It will be like one long vacation AND I live near the BEACH! :) Sorry.. if you haven't noticed i'm super excited! I'm also excited to show everyone around when they come down. The visitors start soon. In two weeks The Witt parents will be here to visit and The Witt Grandparents! Then we go home for a visit and Lisa and Ashley are coming back with us. Then after that The Kelso family :) is coming to visit. I'm excited. That's all I have to say for now!
