Lamps in a cafe in San Juan Islands

First Day of Summer, Last Day of School

06.21.06

I am super-relieved. Graduation planning and the ceremony are over, teaching and lesson planning are over, and all I have left to do are my grades, which should be easy to complete tomorrow. Today, upon coming home, I read a magazine, called a couple of friends and my family, made some tea, and read outside in the sun. Ah, bliss at last! Upon returning from my bookclub tonight (we’re reading The Handmaid’s Tale), I plan to veg out to our new disc of Alias (Season II). I still have 7 days of “work,” but most of them are self-directed workshops or workdays, and I don’t have to be there at 7:15 a.m., but rather at a more sane time like 9. Plus I get hour-long lunches, paid parking, and a continental breakfast. The good life has begun, though I will miss my students. No, really!

I love your new look!
Some of the English peeps and I are goign to make our own book club this summer. My summer reading list includes: “The Devil Wears Prada” (which I’m reading now), “Persuasion,” “The Kite Runner,” “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” and “Something Rotten” (in the “Eyre Affair” series, by Jasper Fforde).
Cheers for a happy summer! :)

“The Devil Wears Prada” was an awesome book. I hope the movie is good too after all of the disappointing “chick flicks” this year.

I love the Eyre Affair series!
