Summer Plans...

You know, it seems like sometimes I get into a groove where I am just so good at updating my blog; but other times I go months without writing anything!  Life has been boring and busy all at the same time.  I had my "spring break" from school.  I couldn't really relax and enjoy it.  I switched between feeling like I should work, wishing I had decided to drive home, and being totally bored.  What will the summer break bring?
I did make a decision the other day.  I decided to fly home for the summer instead of driving.  It will be hard to condense everything that I am going to need and to be without my car.  I want to the see the sky and I cannot wait to get to California!  It is supposed to be spring here in Utah.  Tomorrow it is supposed to snow.  Spring...right.

My class has started our Utah CRT testing.  We actually did one of the tests last week.  We have another one next week, three the week after that, and then one more the following week.  I have been trying to put the end of the year in perspective.  By tomorrow, this school week will be over.  We have four full weeks of school that will be full of testing and things like that.  After those four weeks, we are in the last week of school.  The last week will consist of two and a half days.  So, really, we can't count that week at all.  So I only have four weeks until I am officially finished with me first year of teaching!  I cannot wait!  I want to relax and recover over the summer and start making some serious plans for next year.  I already have so many ideas and I can't wait until I have some time to work on them!

My summer plans are as follows:  I will be finished checking out of school/work on June 3.  On June 8, I will fly back to California (this is a little earlier than I had planned; but I got a REALLY good price on tickets).  I will be in California for about 5-6 weeks.  Then the family will be going up to Idaho for a three week trip to the cabin.  After that I will go back to Utah, and have about two weeks until the new school year starts.  The summer will fly by!  4 weeks left of school, 5-6 weeks in California, 3 weeks in Idaho, then the 2 weeks in Utah before the school year starts.  Now you know all of my plans!  Take care everyone!  I will post when I can; but I will be CRAZY BUSY for the next few weeks!
