The Countdown is On...

The students have started a countdown on the board in my room...only 30 days till grad. Wow. That also means 8 school days until the applied math 40S exam, 18 school days until exam week, 4 days until the big DragonBoat race, and perhaps most concerning for me, is 25 school days left until I have to really face the reality that I won't be back there next year. It's a bittersweet feeling. I have shed many tears over the reality of leaving the awesome kids in that school. Although I'm excited about the opportunity for next year, part of me hurts. Those kids have been the world to me, and the thought of leaving is hard to accept. Telling them was probably harder for me than it was for them. I am excited about seeing them on the rare occasion for sporting events and whatnot, but it won't be the same. I could say a lot, but I really have to avoid getting myself all worked up. The end of the year will run high with emotions of leaving and the fear of the uncertainty ahead.

I finished my paper. It was probably my least favorite part of the weekend. Actually...it WAS the least favorite part of my weekend. I hate the feeling knowing that I've done poorly. I did what I could, but it wasn't enough. Maybe the next assignment will be less taxing. Maybe I should try and stop feeling guilty.

As far as the status of the house goes, there is not much to report. It was supposed to get moved on Friday. It got loaded up, but that's where it stayed. The soggy grounds postponed that ordeal. I want it to dry up, and not for the house so much as for my dad to be able to resume seeding. That's more important. There is not urgency for the house. I do have my apartment until the end of July. Actually, I already forgot the colors that we chose for paints. It will be a surprise to walk in! A surprise I'm looking forward to!

Here are some pictures of the most recent work:

My to do list for the summer is quite expansive. I am thinking that it will fly by as I foresee myself being rather busy. I'm going to enjoy it though. Lots of things will change in the next few months and I'm looking forward to all of them with much excitement!

Time to unwind. It was a hectic day. This pace will continue for the remaining days I'm sure. The good thing is that it makes the time go faster and the weekends come sooner.
