Phew. There are three weeks of classes left at ACS. Then we have two weeks of finals. Then comes the best part: two months of summer vacation.

The thing I've found myself with a lot to do in the last three weeks. My students depending on their grade are either writing research papers or multi-draft compare and contrast essays and we're finishing reading Shakespeare's <em>Macbeth</em> or Kundera's <em>The Unbearable Lightness of Being </em>again depending on the grade.

It's clear that I am going to busy right up until the last day of the school year--July 1st.

On top of this, today I feel sort of feel like I've been plowed down by a steamroller. A steamroller being driven by students. Today was an endless stream of: Ms Emighs, Miss Emighs and one Mrs Emigh.  My students are nothing if not polite but for whatever reason they were super needy today.  Neediness like this requires a lot of energy and attention.

Luckily, there was yoga after school. One down, three yoga classes of the year left.
