Noooo... of course not.
I thought I'd better pop in and say hello lest you think I've disappeared for good.
I've marked over 200 essays in the past 3 days and have 2 more days of work to go, marking government exams for social studies.
Can you say, "brain dead?" I mean me, not the kids who wrote the essays (although some of them... well, I just won't go there).
Yep, two more days of this, a short (hopefully) staff meeting on Wednesday, and then FREEEEEEEDOM! Summer Vacation!
I've been having fun, though. Met up with a few friends I haven't seen since the last marking stint in January and a couple more I haven't seen for a few years. Teacher networking at its best.
As you can see from the list on my sidebar, sewing (and particularly completion of projects) is at a standstill. There's a good chance it will stay that way until September because...
in a week I will be off to ITALY for 10 days!
a week home then...
off to FRANCE for a month!
If I seem to be bragging, forgive me. I'm just so freakin' excited!
Okay, no picture tonight - sorry about that. Did you really want to see a photo of all those essays???
Hopin' I'll be back in a day or so with much more interesting things to say. No guarantee, but there is Canada Day on the horizon so maybe.
And... I reached my 300th post a few days ago. Must plan some kind of celebration for that.
Later...
Time for bed. Early day tomorrow - day 4 of that marking gig!
'Night friends!
