With everything going on this summer I feel like I am really on neither, but I do like your rationale!:)

I often thought my life would have more meaningful if I became a teacher or nurse, etc instead of staring at the computer for 8 hours. But then I’ve talk to my sister, who’s a principal of an elementary school and have gotten a glimpse about the politics of education. ….maybe I will stick to my unrewarding job. Have a great summer break!

You know what’s funny? When I was little, I never ever would have imagined that the teachers hated being at school. I used to feel like they had it so easy without having to do any homework. Ah, the ignorance of youth… now that I am grown, I realized how incredibly hard being a teacher actually is.

Have a great time off

Have fun on your trip!

Because I utterly lack self-discipline in any way, shape, or form, I DO give the beloved SB an interest-free loan each year, and I grovel for summer school for extra dinero.

I can’t stand the shapelessness of summer days; thus, I hardly call it vacation–more like a hot ordeal. Strangely, though, this year I’m almost looking forward to it. Almost.

Jealous of the cool climate you are about to enter; take LOTS of pictures and please get a photo of a moose if possible without endangering yourself or your companions. Or at least your slowest companion.
