Finding myself using Facebook more than LJ these days. Mostly because it is short entries which is usually all I have time for. Especially important when you have very limited internet connection.
So... update on the last few weeks...
1st - Graduation was June 4th. Really going to miss some of the kids that graduated this year, it was a great group! Went to the ceremony and immediately took off for the airport for the AP Reading.
2nd - spent a week in Kentucky reading essays. All went well except I caught a slight cold on the way there (seemed to have done so on the plane.) Spent the whole week doing everything I could to get rid of it because of the Japan trip. Managed to succeed and trip back was uneventful.
3rd - was home for the weekend and then gone again - this time to Japan! Took 9 students (along with another teacher). Spent a day in Tokyo, then took the train to Kami City where our sister school is. Had a great host family - for a week I had 4 sisters and 2 adorable nieces, as well as Japanese parents. :) Everyone cried at the airport when we had to leave and I had a 2 year old and a 4 year old attached to me. Flew back to Tokyo and spent another day site seeing and shopping. Got home Monday night.
4th - Jumped right into things, met with a Yearbook Main editor yesterday. Meeting with all of the staff today. Dr's appointments this week. Next week will have Senior Pictures for school. Busy Busy!
Most importantly - missing E terribly. He is in Kentucky with the Greatest Aunt in the Whole World and having the time of his life with his cousins. Won't be back until July 15th and I don't know what I will do!
OK, back to work...
