If possible, this last week of school is even more boring than the LEAP testing weeks. With the exception of two classes, my students and I have reviewed all of the material for the final exams next week, and I am "youtubed" out, after surfing the web finding amusing clips for us to watch/listen to in our free time. The Friday Happy Hour post is two hours late. I have read every new article in the news section of Mentalfloss, and even read a few "real" news articles of the interwebs... I have looked at Icanhascheezburger until the cats with bad grammer are no longer funny, and I read an entire wikapedia article on Steve Buscemi... I even read the critical reviews of "Fargo." AND my physical science class and I boxed laser printer cartridges and it didn't even take us the whole hour.
The only thing that keeps this day from being completely mindlessly dull is that Judy finally emailed me (she was in Louisiana, cleaning out her old house this week which is why she didn't get to me sooner) and said that of course we're still on for Chicago, she's excited about seeing Mame and I, and then gave me her cell phone number, which used to be (when she taught at SLU) protected by the equivalent of a Presidential Guard--and that's only a slight exaggeration. And I was stoked when she gave me her personal email address. :) Anyway, Mame and I are excited--seeing a new city and an old friend--and I am excited because this week is almost over. And then after next week, this particular experience will be over. At least for now.
Only five more hours to go, plus lunch.

Being bored is one of the worst things. I'd much rather be stressed out with deadlines and such than spend hours waiting for something, anything to happen.
