No more pencils, no more books...

School's OUT! School's OUT! School's OUT!

And trust me, the teachers are JUST as excited as the kids (if not more so). I've been subbing for most of the school year—including this final week—and I can say unequivocally, that this is first summer vacation I've TRULY earned.

I suppose calling my break a summer vacation is a bit laughable, though. I have evening classes until July 8th, followed by a field experience (aka Summer School) through the end of July. Then a couple weeks of freedom until pre-service seminar starts, and then dun Dun DUN...

MY VERY OWN CLASSROOM at the beginning of the 2010-11 school year!

Those poor kiddies won't know what hit them. Although I'm sure they'll give me a run for my money, so I can't say I feel too sorry for them.

So happy to have made it through virtually unscathed :)

Happy Summer to all the teachers out there– live it up!
