So much to do so little time

Only 2 more days of school and then April vacation starts. There are so many things that I want to do during vacation and I doubt that I will have time to do it all. I find that I let so many things g0 during the school year. I just keep saying, "I will do that during vacation." Now I have too many things to do and only one week to do them. One thing I have to do is visit my sister. She and her family moved to New York State 2 years ago and I have not gone out to visit them yet. (I know I am a terrible sister) I will make sure I see her and my niece and nephew during April vacation. I have another niece that lives on the cape and missed her 6th birthday party back in March (because I was in New Jersey) so I have to go see her and deliver her birthday present present, 2 months late. I have a few books that I bought months ago and haven't even started to read yet so I need to have free time to read. And like every school vacation my children have dentist appointments. It is so much easier to have them on vacation so no one misses a day of school. While I make plans to do these things I have to keep an eye on my sons baseball schedule because he has practice Saturday, Monday and Wednesday. Then the season begins with games Thursday night and Saturday afternoon. I'm getting tired just writing about all this. I just have to remember that after this vacation there are only 8 weeks left in the school year.

I agree, there is so much to do this vacation. I have to look go to look at come colleges and do a million errands. Mostly my vacation will consist of doing homework. Because I will be in California the whole week after vacation, i am trying to get some of my make up work done ahead of time so ill be very busy. I just want summer to come!

I'm not doing anything too exciting over vacation. I have track practice all week, some homework, and I might visit colleges. I agree about being busy during the school year and not having much free time. I didn't realize there's only 8 weeks left of school!

Aaron is right that these 8 weeks will go by fast but I need to remember to stay focused on my school work. Ulike you Mrs. Taylor, I'm in Florida relaxing. Hope you accomplish everything you want to this week.

I think that the best part of April vacation is that its a sign of the summer approaching. 8 weeks sounds like a long time now, but I'm sure its going to fly by.

Just like Mrs. Taylor my mom always schedules doctors and dentists appointments over vacation! It's so annoying thats not a fun vacation! haha and I did the same thing as Andrew, I went to visit colleges, but I went mostly to Virginia and North Carolina. And I agree with Jess I had planned to get a lot done, but didn't really do any of it. :/

I wish it was still vacation! I had so much free time and now that it's over I'm really busy again. I'm still trying to get used to being back in school.

I agree with Kerrin, April vacation was very fast and busy, but also a great break. I spent most of the vacation visiting family, which can be stressful but also boatloads of fun!

My sister and my neice live in South Carolina so it's really hard not being able to them. It's crazy how fast my neice is growing up. I went to see them over April vacation and had an awesome time. Like Caroline, I had plans to visit some colleges. I saw some really beautiful campuses in South Carolina.

I know my vacation was very busy! For most of it I was preparing to go to California; going shopping for summer clothes and packing. I also had a lot of work to do because of what I was going to miss. Vacations are a good time to rest and catch up on things that need to be done!

Wow that'd be so fun Dean! How did he do an internship with Walt Disney in Sharon? But that's a really great opportunity and it's definately a good company to intern with. I'm sure his internship will help him alot in the future!

For some reason as I get closer to the end of the school year it seems like I'm getting busier and busier. I'm pretty pumped that we only have a few more days!

It's so hard to see family from other states. I have family in Pennsylvania that I see only once or twice a year, but when we are together its like we were never apart! I love family.

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.
