happy hump day!

i'm giving up any illusion that i might update this regularly. i don't know that i have many regular readers anyway, so i don't see anyone being very disappointed. i'm in the last hurried days of my second semester, and i don't know if the 4.0 will be maintained but i'll be close. this was a very stressful semester.

i have turned in my resignation and in about 6 weeks my life as a teacher will be over. i'm feeling a mix of emotions over that, but relief seems to be winning out. from here i'll be doing odd writing/editing jobs, some retail work (hopefully), and probably some substitute teaching. my internship will start in the fall. i have an interview with a child advocacy program in a couple of weeks, and with any luck i'll be working with kids aging out of the foster system. how exciting!

right now i'm just counting the days (44) until summer vacation. i'll be taking 1 summer-long course and one 5-week course in the second half of the summer. otherwise, i plan to work around my house, spend a lot of time in the water, and become a more sane mother and girlfriend. those two guys have put up with a lot of stress and craziness out of me and they definitely deserve a break.
