The End of April Vacation
It is Sunday night and tomorrow morning I have to wake up with an alarm clock. Time to go finish out the school year. For those of you reading this blog that are depressed by the end of school vacation, you only have 36 more days of school. I hope everyone had a great week off from school. I went to watch the marathon. My family watched from mile 16.5 in Newton. We saw Lance Armstrong go by, then Mr. Taylor was only minutes behind him. My husband was about 15 minutes behind Mr. Taylor. After all 3 passed by I caught the green line into Boston to the finish line. Congrats to the two Mr. Taylors for a great race. Boston was crazy. So many people there was barely any room to move, but I wouldn't have missed out on the experience. My only complaint was the T was so crowded that everyone was squished in with little breathing room. Even with that said I recommend you go to the marathon.
The rest of my week was very relaxing. I did a little bit of school work. I made up the workbook for our math day at six flags and I read a book called "The Number Devil". The book was about a boy that did not like math and every time he went to sleep he had dreams about it. The Number devil came into his dreams to show him how fun math can be. I enjoyed the book and I think it will be required summer reading for next years incoming freshmen.
My vacation ended with a weekend of baseball. Little league parade and first game of the season was Saturday and then Sunday was an AAU baseball game. My son can't join just one baseball league. He has to join both Little League and AAU. I guess it is a good thing that I like baseball.

But these past few weeks have been a little more stressful. Like Kelly said, the year will be a lot different once AP exams are over.
like keely and ben said i am hoping that after AP exams everything will slow down a bit and be less stressful

I spent April Vacation with my girlfriend (who I love so much!). She goes to college in New York City, so I spent the week there and stayed in her dorm. The first time I went to the city, I wasn't really a fan--too much commotion. But going back, I began to fall in love with NYC. It's an experience that I would recommend to everyone. If you haven't been, seriously, go there.
I spent the week experiencing a taste of city life. My girlfriend, Melissa, and I went to the Bronx Zoo, which was an experience in and of itself. I've never seen so many animals in my life. Alongside that, we went out to eat at a few different and interesting places. Perhaps my favorite was the Shake Shack. It's an outdoor place that's exactly what it sounds like. They serve amazing shakes and burgers (that we had to wait a half hour in line for--completely worth it).
I could go on about the awesome time I had over vacation, but I really think to truly understand, one would have to go to New York City. And I still highly recommend it.
Like everyone else said, I enjoyed the good weather we had over vacation. It was good to get away from all of the school work for a little while. I also managed to finsh my community service hours for the year which is definatly a good thing.
