Retirement v resignation

There is another pseudo luncheon planned next Mon. I hear this one is nicer. Whereas the first was at a banquet place famous for retirement events, this is Acapulco, a Mexican restaurant.

I went to the dentist yesterday and hopefully won't have to see her again until Nov.

I'm reading the Twilight series. I read Twilight on Sunday and am almost through New Moon on the way to Eclipse and if I can find it Breaking Dawn. It's good and a bit scary and an intense love story.

I'm planning for summer school, trying to get all my copies ready so I don't have to stand in a hot small copy room. It hurts my back. Also here there is a high speed copy machine and it collates and staples.

I think I'll have my 10th and 11th graders read either Romeo and Juliet or Merchant of Venice in addition to a book by Faulkner. They are also reading Walden and Civil Disobedience, The Gettysburg address, The Iliad and the Odyssey, some grammar and doing a lot of writing and a research paper of at least 15 pages.

I've got a lot of stuff for the 6th graders too and they will read Touching Spirit Bear 7th will read Monster and City of Ember
All books were to be in 6/1 so it is a busy time for us. All the kids are rushing to pay for lost books and fines so they can go to movies and Great America. (I hated having to go on that field trip!) I even sent Joe there alone with his brother.

I did that at Cape Kennedy too. I did go to Disney World with him since we lived next door. He loved the rides. I loved lounging in the pool and ordering drinks. Different perspective at 24.
