12 Days of School Left!!!









I'm so excited that there are only 12 days of school left! On June 10th, I'll be waving good-bye to my 25 little darlings and welcoming summer vacation! This job can really suck the life out of you, and this year has been absolutely no exception. I love what I do, but it can be so very trying. Unfortunately, things are going to get worse before they get any better because our bond for a new elementary school failed on Tuesday. We are almost 300 students over capacity right now, and our little town is growing by the day. I honestly believe that I could end up with 30 students within the next few years. And I'm set to do this for the next 30 years?? And while I'm on this venting spree, I have to start on my master's degree soon so that I can keep my job! Of course, I have to pay for it. One of my coworkers just paid off her student loans....she's 41. I'm really not as bitter as I may sound, it just would be nice if teachers would be treated like the professionals that we are.

Heaven in a Pita

Anyone who has lived in Pullman knows the longing that takes place when you crave a delicious pita, but there is no where to get such a gratifying meal! Well, the wait for us in Vancouver is over, because we now have a Pita Pit of our very own! I hope they have a punch card because I'm going to be a frequent flyer!

Two for Two!

So my life hasn't been the most exciting since returning from Vegas, but I finally have something report on! I've now won the second Survivor pool in a row at work. Last season my boy Todd won it all, and this time Parvati somehow managed to win. I'm still not sure really why she won, but it's all good for me since it means another $50 in my pocket!
