Hey Summer, Where Ya Been?

(Whoo-hoo, hoo)
Summer is rapidly approaching. And* while I am looking forward to it, I refuse to have a countdown with my students because we still have some serious learning to get accomplished (Mexico unit, revisit money, biographies, memory books, and publishing our fractured fairy tales all come to mind).
The problem is, I’m not sure I’m looking forward to it. Yes, beautiful weather, the possibility of golf with Marc and Zigzag (though we know who will show up and who won’t 
) and a reduced working schedule are all great things. Downside? How can there be a downside? Teachers complain too much, right? Probably, but I still will have grad school for fifteen hours a week, I have a billion things to rework in my language arts, science, and social studies curriculums (math is too dense to touch already) and oh, we’re buying a house, so the Great Moving Adventure is about to re-begin. (My Ebjournal, my words.) I will miss this group of students because though they are not the brainiacs of last year, they like each other more, and get along well, in spite of me. To top it off, TLEMK is also starting grad school, and her schedule is going to be tough on both of us.
So, I don’t think it’s a summer break… just a summer shift.
Should I be excited? Ta-da! New poll question!
