That's how much more time I am required to spend at school before summer break!!! The end of this school year is drawing mixed emotions from me. On one hand, I am very much ready for a break, but on the other hand, I am going to miss all of the excitement that middle schoolers bring into my life. I enjoy coming home with stories of how completely wacky the kids are. Now what am I supposed to do all day? Play with paper dolls and pretend that they're my students? I can just see how that evening conversation would go...
Philosopher King: So how was your day today?
Me: It was unbelievable. You wouldn't believe all the trouble those kids got into today!
Philosopher King: What kids?
Me: My imaginary students.
Philosopher King: Oh, right...
Me: I was trying to teach them how to swing their eighth notes, and they just couldn't get it. I was trying to be patient, but they lost interest and started talking to each other instead of even trying to do it right. They started laughing and dancing around.
Philosopher King: So what did you do?
Me: I gave them all detentions.
Philosopher King: Really?
Me: No, they're just imaginary. So how was your day?
Exactly. Oh, don't feel too bad for me. I suppose I can stretch out in the sun all summer and read some good books. I suppose that wouldn't be too bad.

You could also come to Bangor...you know, so I don't have to get lost in Auburn again.
Haha! Yes, I suppose I could. You could also come to Auburn and I could show you around so that you don't get lost!
I'm with Miss Lyndsy on this one. Auburn's a mess.
Did you realize that I got a speeding ticket because of that town? First there was construction, so I was detoured around some sort of commercial area. Then the city just decided to stand up, move around, and sit back down all so I wouldn't be able to find the interstate.
Of course I'm still holding a grudge.
I suppose I could meet you about 10 feet off of I-495. Or you could just use the excuse that you can't get good sushi in your area.
Hmm, maybe this is why there are such angry drivers in Auburn ALL THE TIME! I seriously despise driving in Lewiston and Auburn myself. I'm just lazy.
Speaking of driving in this freaky town...
This morning while biking into work (several important things to note about laws and safety while biking: 1) You have to bike in the road, yes like a car, so you don't run into pedestrians. 2) If you are traveling through a metropolitan area bikers can easily keep up with traffic as they start and stop between lights.) I was heading down a hill through the center of town about five feet back from the car in front of me. The road is two lanes traveling in both directions so I was actually riding right out in the road so everyone knew I was there. I had stopped at a light when I noticed that the car behind me was awfully close, about a foot behind me. Thinking that the driver might not have seen me or something (not really possible) I waved and tried to make it clear that if she stayed in her lane and didn't run into me I would be much happier. As we start again she proceeds to stomp the gas and I realize that she is trying to actually cut me off. Now I am keeping five feet off of the car in front so she has to not only almost run me off the road but actually almost rear end the car in front of me at the same time. Of course I had no where to go, there was a half foot curb on one side and I couldn't slow down or the car behind the crazy driver would kill me.
It was a little scary.
Oh, and I that our darling princess just mentions stuff like this to rub it in. So that when I am getting up early in to morning for the rest of the summer she can make fun of me and go back to sleep.
She is really quite evil. Look at those pictures!
Mwuahahaha...
You would think that at my age I could actually form a sentence...
It should be "oh, and I THINK that our darling..."
My bad.
