2. The aforementioned summer school will pay up to $25/hr. Which translates to a couple of months of living in Bedford. So I suppose it's worth the sacrifice.
3. I'm packing my bag for the family weekend at the beach. Yay!!!
4. I have a stack of books ready to read while on the beach; including, but not limited to Ted Dekker's Black, Khaled Hossein's The Kite Runner, and Kim Edwards' The Memory Keeper's Daughter. Hmm . . . none of them are light reading, are they? Oh, and if you click the link I wouldn't read everything or else it might ruin story lines for ya.
5. I heart the HOV lane. A coworker who lives only 5 minutes away has started carpooling with us for summer school, and that means we can zip past the thousands of cars sitting on the I-10 main lanes. My life will never be the same!
6. I also heart the new Chronicles of Narnia movie. I've read of people being annoyed by the Prince Caspian/Susan kiss at the end. Um, HELLO?! Did you see the movie?! I SO would have done the same as Susan! Ok, maybe not really. But I'd like to think I would . . .
7. At the end of the Spring Program our principal announced to the whole staff that I'm leaving to do mission work overseas. She actually had a few nice things to say. Almost made me cry. And ever since I've had people coming up to me on a daily basis asking what I'll be doing, offering to keep me in their prayers and wishing me well. It's actually quite touching. And I never realized that so many people know who I am.
8. Two plants I received from students (nearly a month ago!) are still alive and well and show no signs of dying. One is a Begonia that's thriving; the other had no identification. Is anyone able to help?
I've been too busy (and lazy when I'm not busy) to look it up.
9. My wonderful coworkers who have been helping me finish packing my classroom since summer school started. I don't know what I would do without them!
10. It's SUMMERTIME!!!!!!

hmm, i don't know flowers, but it kinda looks like the flowerpot from E.T., if you ask me. :D
movie transition: i've been thinking a lot about books turned movies, etc., as well. i haven't seen Prince Caspian yet, but thougtht it would be fun to re-read the book just for fun before i see it. :) i think some people freak out unnecessarily about movies not following a book exactly. yes, it is important for a movie to be true to the integrity of the book, but really, you gotta remember what kind of audience you're addressing. the crowd who flocks to see a movie might not necessarily be as intellectually, uh, structured as the story's reading audience. and some things can fly in a book that can't in a movie, and vice versa.
i hope that made sense. have fun! :)
