Is it Break Yet?

I have 7 days, not counting today, left of school before the Winter Break. I am BEYOND ready for it to be here. And more importantly so are the students. I can't wait for next semester, with new schedules and new faces. The students seem to feel the same, schedules came out last week and it's been a little crazy ever since.

Surprisingly this feeling didn't really "hit" me until today. I've got a head cold going on, giving me the world's most annoying headache. On top of which I went to the doctor last night, yes Happy Birthday to ME I've got health insurance (!), and found out I broke my foot. I've been walking around in slight pain for the better part of two months, because the last time I saw a doctor about my foot they said "there really isn't much we can do." But I was fed up with the pain so I went to the doc anyway and it's a good thing I did! Today I get to go to Carroll and buy a "boot" from a pharmacy, which I am to wear for the next couple of weeks. So, I'm ready for a break. Really, really, ready. Maybe I'm getting a bit more ready the longer this day lasts...
