So yesterday the whole school went to Canobie Lake Park. And so I'm thinking, CRAZYYY chaperoning adventure that would never end and would be really overwhelming and we'd probably lose a few along the way and some more would throw up all their fried dough. Totally the opposite. Landmark is my hero because the older kids are allowed to go around on their own, and most teachers (unless you're one of the unlucky ones) can wander around with other teachers. This was one of the least painful field trips EVAH. I went on the ferris wheel with a teacher friend, then we sat on a bench next to the lake for an hour and a half during which we ate lunch and chatted. Then we rode the swings, then met with the rest of the kidlets to head back. It was amazing and I can't wait til next year. Oh and also I was 1 of four teacher who drove an activity bus. Yeaahhh. I volunteered my expertise skillz. Didn't even kill any kids! It was a success!
Today was 100% useless. Each class was 12 minutes long, and then the teachers met for 2 hours and debriefed about the year. Three of my 5 tutees were absent, and one of them was dismissed about 2 seconds into our time together. The worst part of today was when I realized that I had forgotten the 8 friendship bracelets that I had poured my heart and soul into last night from 9-12 at night. So unlike me, but I wanted my math kids to know I loved them. Welp, probably didn't feel the love when I told them that I didn't have anything for them. They were cute though, thanking my for the thought. Oh those kids of mine.
So here I sit, thanking the Lord that He called me to teach because June July and August are up next. Yes, I'll be working. But yes, change is in store. Varying the schedule is a beautiful thing.
Up next, the Outer Banks. Leavin' town for VT Friday night, leaving that town in VT for NC at 3am Saturday morning. Glory...glory....glory.

Isn't teaching the best?!?!?! We've been on summer vacation since June 1st! Amazing! Now if the sun would just come out so it doesn't feel like March Break instead of summer, I'd be happy! Have fun in NC!
