The new chant....

August 3rd, August 3rd, August 3rd...

Once again I am crushed by the weight of teaching and graduate school. UGH. I need a break. Thankfully I get one starting on August 3rd. I'm going home to Massachusetts for a whole week with Boo and the pup! :-)

Until then the grind continues. I will need to post soon to describe the utter chaos and insanity the DC Public School System is (note: I am only teaching summer school here - the rest of the year will be in the peaceful suburban bliss where 13-year olds don't burst into your room while you are trying to teach scared new immigrant and refugee children... and they certainly don't burst into the room yelling "F**k you N****RS!" and then run away... [note: this is only 1 of too many sad true stories I have experienced in the last 3 weeks])

Never again. If I wasn't desperate for cash this summer I'd be focusing on my own schoolwork and the dog!
