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.
Cheers to long days and long books this summer for you. I’m excited about what it holds in store for you!
You are positively darling!
Happy Summer to you, lady! Hope there’s time in there to meet up, too??
YAY!!! Sounds so amazing. Happy Summer!
this sounds so perfect – still like a very nice summer, even if you do have to work. can’t wait to see all the fun you have in NH.
sounds so amazing! Enjoy it all.
your summer sounds so wonderful! I would love to work for just a few hours in the afternoon. ENJOY! :)
Yes it is lucky and I am trying to enjoy every second of it!
Ahh sounds lovely. I am jealous you are visiting my home state this weekend! Where in NH are you headed?!
We’re going up to the Franconia area– we’ll be hiking Mt. Lafayette on Saturday!
Ahhh so jealous! …you make me want to be a teacher even though I would never have the patience. Enjoy your summer! You deserve it!
PS. anyone know how I get a picture next to my name? My website is through wordpress not blogger so I’m not able to log in to comment. #imdumb
Hmmm I don’t know? This blog is powered through wordpress too, so it should show up automatically? But of course, yours isn’t so I wonder what’s up with that?
Your happiness is so contagious! I can’t wait to see you next week…get a little bit of that energy to rub off on me.
But seriously…I’m about to go do about 10 things now because of this post.
I can’t wait either!! It’s been SO LONG!
It’s sounds like you’re going to be having a lot of fun. I’m happy for you. :) I wish I could say the same. My job at the bank isn’t nearly as fun and exciting. I’ve been thinking about going back to school for library science and becoming a media specialist (what we called, simply, the school librarian in my day). That way I can have summers off for the most part, even if I do have to keep a part-time job to help with finances.
YOU should! Oh, you so should. You would be an amazing school librarian. If I wasn’t a teacher, I would seriously consider doing that. Children’s books all day every day? Yes please.
