FRIENDS.
I am in full fledge summer mode over here and I’ve only officially been on vacation for 2 whole “school days”. That’s how my teacher mind works, as I’m sure yours does, similarly, if you’re in any type of Monday-Friday gig. For me it’s always been school days and weekend days. WHAT a difference a day makes.
So what will I do with my school days now that school is out do you ask?
First off, I do have a summer job. The teacher’s salary is unfortunately tragically just not big enough to lie around in the sand and sun for two whole months (what a DREAM), especially with my student loans and love of shopping. SIGH.
Instead of working on my freckles at the beach I’ll be spending my afternoons in Beacon Hill with that little nugget in the picture up there. She’s most definitely the cutest city girl around and quite the museum hopper, too! Much like last summer, we’ll be spending our days here and there around the city, eating pirate’s booty and licking ice cream cones. AHHH, Summer, you are too good to me.
As for the morning I shall do as I please.
Little bit of yoga. Little bit of blogging. Little bit of any. thing. I. want.
I’ve been biking all the live long day and I couldn’t be more pumped about it (YES! A bike! MINE!), and I am taking the train to and from work each day and so finally, finally! I get to read my little heart out. During the school year the only reading I do is the 3 minutes I lie in bed before my brain officially shuts off and I’m snoring. I want to read during the school year, but my busy schedule and my tired eyes will just never let me. So yes, this whole train-to-work thing is very exciting for me and something I’ve missed terribly since I started teaching outside of the city. BOOKS! Oh, delicious books.
And the weekends? The weekends are for spending time in the sweet summer sun. I’m taking them as they come, and with open arms. New Hampshire’s on the agenda for this weekend and I’m so so excited. I’m just checking things off that bucket list like it’s my J.O.B.
So, yeah. Things are good around here.
Summer, I think I’ll keep you.
