Today is Father's Day. My dad is great and would do absolutely anything for me. Sometimes I wonder why I got so lucky. There are so many people out there who would do anything to feel even just a fraction of the love, support, and belonging that I feel on a daily basis. I don't take it for granted, even though sometimes I act as though I do. I do realize that I am blessed and I do love my dad to no end. I think days like these, in which we honor our parents, are great, but it's more important to remember those loved ones in our lives each and every day.
Some things about my dad. Well he seems to love a lot of things, fishing, farming, wine making, and watching racing just to name a few. I don't know a lot of things that make him mad (well except me sometimes...) But even when I do make him made it's hard to tell. He has shown me what patience is all about - and I've used his shining example to help me during the past two years in the classroom (and boy does my patience ever get tested some days!) My dad is quiet yet outgoing. He likes to talk more than me but is also a good listener. I love spending time with my dad. Over the past number of years the capacity in which we can spend time together has changed. When I was young we used to spend our Sundays playing soccer, baseball, football, or whatever other sport I was entertained by at the time. Now that I've apparently "grown up" our time together isn't as spontaneous but rather planned. We go out to eat, watch TV, or whatever else we feel like doing. Some of my favorite times, however, are spent fishing and watching hockey. You can tell that I spent a lot of time with him at the arena growing up cause out post-game analysis of any game is generally quite similar. We are also a pretty good team when it comes to ganging up on my mom. All in good fun of course. I could go on for a long time about my dad. I am thankful for any time I get to spend with him, including today. I love you dad and look forward to some serious fishing this summer!!
Tomorrow is the last Monday of classes for this school year. Crazy how fast time goes. I am overwhelmed with all that needs to get done and I would get into it but seriously, if I think about it, it feels like I can't breathe. We don't want that - so I'll just avoid the subject. I like to set goals for myself, so as far as this week goes here are few:
1) Just to get through the week - the days may be long but I can do it!
2) Have my physics and biology exam made up by Wednesday night. (oh that might be a stretch - however I am 2/3 done my physics exam)
3) Have all my marking done as it comes it - currently speaking I am caught up but I know that it won't take until tomorrow at 8:45 before something new comes in.
4) Smile and actually enjoy the last few days of school!
Okay time for some relaxation. Now that I've just run through my head everything I need to get done I'm not sure that relaxation will happen. But...we'll see.
