Enjoying Vacation


Nothing like a little time away from school to kick back and relax. I have been very busy doing everything that needs to be done so I can sit back and relax for the end of vacation. I corrected papers from school, made up my smartboards for the next two weeks, did housework and went to dentist appointments. Now time to have some fun. I have been watching some very exciting playoff games (Bruins and Celtics) and tonight I am going to (hopefully) an exciting Red Sox game. That is if it doesn't get rained out. The only thing I haven't done this vacation is read. Well, there is always tomorrow. I hope everyone else on vacation is finding time to have fun.

Vacation has been great! Today's Friday, and I have yet to read an entire book, write a paper, study for a test, write a dialogue...the list goes on! Oh well!

I read the Great Gatsby.. I didn't enjoy myself all that much but I can't really complain. Other than that, I also watched Bruins and Celtics pretty much every night. It was fantastic! And Kevin, I'm sorry for your life.

Like Kevin and Chad, I saved most of my work for the last days of vacation. It wasnt as bad as I thought though. Hopefully there isn't much work to come!

Vacation went by pretty quick. I was kept busy with work, a research paper, The Color Purple, and some other homework. Fortunately I had some time to relax with my friends as well.

Like Kerrin, Kevin, and Chad I procrastinated until sunday so I really felt like I had a vacation until then. Lol. Also like Mrs. Taylor said watching the Red Sox sweep the Yankees was amazing! I am tired of losing sleep over all these Celtics overtime games too, but I still love watching them. GO BOSTON!

I agree with the others who said they left all their homework until the end of vacation. I enjoyed watching the Bruins, Celtics, and Red Sox games too. It's a great time to be a Boston sports fan! :)

I was sooooo busy over vacation. I was either working, babysitting, working on my film project with my group, doing massive cleaning or going to a babyshower. I had no time. I was out of my house from 7am to about 7 pm everyday....sometime even later. Sunday finally came around and i hadnt done any of my homework...that was a fun time, haha. Then, we had school on Monday. Thank goodness i got a coffee first thing that morning or else i would have been sleeping in the back of a few classrooms.

The one thing I miss about vacation is definitely the sleep. Having to wake up at 6 A.M. every single morning makes me feel like a zombie after sleeping until 9 or 10 all vacation.

The best part about vacation for me was catching up with some friends that I haven't gotten to hang out with because of my busy schedule. I think everyone gets cursed with a little procrastination over any vacation. So i have to agree with Pete, most of my homework was saved for Sunday.

I wish I had a relaxing vacation like you Mrs. Taylor :( I was in Georgia all week which would have been fun if it wasn't rainy the whole time I was there. I went to a lot of places with my family but I got a little homesick. Haha I agree with Liz that I plan to do my homework the first weekend of vacation but I never follow through because I don't feel like it. It's supposed to be vacation after all! No school work haha

Like Chad, I saved all my work for the last day of vacation, but atleast I got to relax all week. You'd think I'd have learned my lesson about procrastination by now, but I haven't!! Sometimes you just need a break from it all.

My vacation was great! I prepared to go to California and then left not soon after. It was a great experience and I'm so glad I went and had vacation to get ready for it. I had a lot to do over vacation so I didn't rest much but I had a chance to catch up on a lot of things I needed to do. I hope everyone else had a great vacation too! (:

Vacations are so nice! but I've noticed this year that I have so much homework and projects to do. And I agree with Kevin that it always ends up being Friday too fast and I never have any of the work done.

Red Sox time is here!

Everyone has reported to Spring training and the first pre-season game is Wednesday at 7:05. I am very excited, but I will have to skip this game because our boys basketball team has its playoff game at the same time and they are more important to me than the Redsox.

One School One Book

I have been reading the book "The Day the World Came to Town" and something is on my mind that I have to share with everyone. Can you believe how incredibly generous and trusting the people in Gander are? I would like to think that I would be the same, but I am not sure. I know that I would definately bring supplies to where ever the people were being placed, but I am not sure that I would open my house up to strangers. I couldn't get over how people were invited into the homes to take showers and the home owners would leave the house and tell them to make themselves at home. I would like to think that I could be that way, but I am not sure I would. What about you? Could you be that trusting of stangers?

What are you reading?

Have you read any good books lately? I am trying to find a great book for the incoming freshmen to read over the summer. The current freshmen class read "The Number Devil", but they didn't like that choice so I am trying to find something more enjoyable for the students. Right now I am reading "October Sky" by Homer Hickham. I am only 60 pages into the book, but I am enjoying the little that I have read. I would like to hear about any books that you have read and would recommend.
