i haven't had students in my classroom since june 8th.  i have been in school pretty much every day since then for longer than i normally spent at school (as well as after school commitments).... it has been pretty crazy.

week 1 without kids involved marking and report card comments
week 2 without kids involved moving, organizing, cataloguing, alphabetizing all the school's music
week 3 without kids has involved meetings, lesson planning, course planning, organizing various rooms in the school

that's a very simplistic list, but i've actually been quite busy... mixed in with the boring work we've gone out for lunch as a staff, mike and i went shopping for good bye presents, we've played hour long 3 on 3 basketball games (that took DAYS to recover from), hilary jason and i went shopping for grad food, we've had hour + long lunches as a staff which never happens during the year, and today i learned to change my oil... basically fun times all around tho now i smell a lot like oil.

tomorrow i need to pack up my stuff here and friday i'm heading home, saturday is jason and maddy's wedding and that night i'm moving back to london where i begin my semi-homeless living for the next 2 months... we'll see how this summer goes...

my to do list was excessively long for this weekend... so far i've accomplished 2 things off of it - this is a little problematic as i do want to complete it all...i'm so not interested in marking any longer... guess i should have avoided procrastination a little better... at this point i am done marking my band stuff... just need to mark little women papers and drama portfolios and combine marks for drama summatives and i'll be done for marking... i plan to write report card comments on monday (if all the marking is completed)... this post clearly has no point other than to prolong the procrastination... adios
