I know that some of our members are teachers, and many are students, so here's a place where we can count down our days of school until summer vacation (and freedom!) :lol: I'm a teacher, and we're finished on June 12, so I've got 26 days left! |

I think of my birthday as the prelude to the end of the schoolyear, and that's only a week away now on the 14th. That absolutely blows my mind - this year has just flown by!
(Not that I'm complaining, of course!) We've actually got only until the 24th of May here, so 14 days more. Wow. :wacko:

For those of us that are parents, the day of mourning, uh, day school lets out is too soon. <_< My daughter is out June 14, so 28 days left. Of my personal freedom.

I tend to avoid the peak summer season when the schools are out, that way I can get cheaper holidays. (We are not mean just thrifty :lol: ) I have booked a week off at the end of May I had planned to go to Cornwall but I don't think that is going to happen now. I also have a couple of weeks leave booked in the middle of September but I haven't planned what I'm going to do yet |

Good luck to you mate! I love it when I hear teachers say they're going back for their masters, shows that education never stops, any level. The program, is it for the elemtary levels or higher education levels? Me, I decided to take a break. I love the law, but just right now, I need to relax the brain for a few months! |

Thanks, Bridget! I'm an elementary school teacher right now, but after this program, I will be eligible to teach middle school or high school, if I like... but I don't think I will. I did enough subbing in middle schools to know it's not for me! As for you taking a break right now, that's allowed--you've got a lot on your mind right now... Congratulations!!!

Aye, trying to sell the house, find a flat in Chicago, transfering to schools for the both of us, and looking for jobs there. I don't need the added stress of classes on top of it. |

On the one hand summer breaks seem like just yesterday
and the other hand faces the reality that the third score anniversary of SGT PEPPER is at best only a 50-50 proposition.
