"Winding Down"

As most people in the world would say, things are finally winding down for the year. Yeah right. I'm just about completely exhausted and I just can't wait to sleep in for 2 months. (Tee hee hee) On the up side, I finished my report cards, and after I finish work tonight (in about 2 hours, and yes, it's already after 6pm) I can just enjoy the weekend. Things at the end of the year just get crazier and crazier until all of a sudden they come to a crashing halt at 3:30 pm on the last day. But then I get the cleaning bug and want to toss everything in sight so that I can start fresh in August. It's very cathartic.

It also surprises me that people are surprised that teachers look forward to the end of the year. Why wouldn't you be happy that you're about to start the working world's best benefit? It's not so much that I'm glad to get away from the kids (although the break is theraputic for both parties), as that I finally get to do all those things that I can't because I'm working all day.

Anyhow, I should run, otherwise I'll still be here when the alarm turns itself on, and that's never a good situation. :)
