Memorial Day weekend usually marks the beginning of summer for most and as far as I am concerned it does for me too even though I have one and a half days of school to get through. My classroom is pretty much packed and the grades are done. I am not really sure what the point of making up these snow days are...I hate saying that I am just bullshiting to get through the day but my kids are about as interested as I am in being at school tomorrow and Wednesday. We do have some fun things planned though, we're celebrating Memorial Day tomorrow because it does tie in with my Civil War unit so it is really nice timing and it keeps the day focused on academics not wearing my patience down to its' last thread. On Wednesday we are doing a tug o'war, karoke, and yearbook signing....pretty much the day will be spent outside, I have already made a sacrifice to the weather gods because if I have to deal with 125 8th graders indoors on the last day of school I may need medication!

I sometimes hate that I become so invovled in television shows and movies. I can't help that I am overly emotional over fictional people, events, etc. With that being said I honestly can't believe the Grey's Anatomy season finale tonight...I even knew that shit about George enlisting in the army and couldn't put all the pieces together until he started writing on Meredith's hand. Literally, I started screaming at the television, "OH MY GOD, IT'S GEORGE!" But I kind of feel like I have seen this story line before...anyone remember Dr. Gant (Omar Epps) for ER who died when he jumped/tripped in front of the EL train on ER? No one knew it was him until the page sent out for Gant beeped on the mangled patient. Also, the whole "in love with a person with no face" scenario totally played out with crazy Rebecca and Karev last season. I mean I am shocked but I feel like I am seeing some similiar story lines. And I am pumped about Yang and Owen, not pumped about Little Grey and Sloane...I just want everyone to be together and be happy.

Don't feel like writing a whole lot but I felt I needed to post for May...I know I sound like a broken record but time is freaking flying by. 2 more weeks of school then dunzo. I booked our flight today to St. Petersburg, so no backing out now for sure. Is it weird that I feel oddly independent making large purchases? I booked four flights on my debit today for a grand total of $800, now of course I will be paid back but knowing that I had $800 laying around to purchase those makes me feel pretty darn good.
