This is it! Summer is on it's last leg for me, the time off that is. I'll be with my mom and family by tomorrow night and I'm sure 6 days will pass quickly. Let see if I can recap my summer vacation. I'll be off to a running start, seeing as I begin my contract year the morning after I get back from TN (8/5). It hasn't been from lack of trying that my room at school is still piled high in packings. I went every day for almost 5 weeks to try to get organized, but between repairs and cleaning, my efforts have been very much delayed. Also am trying to get organized for my ASU class which begins on the 24th of Aug. It's new which of course means that I start from scratch developing it. That also has been one delay after another trying to get set up. I spent 8 hours in ASU classes learning to use their system, only to have a glitch show up. But, ....despite all the delays, I'm now ready to roll and my momentum is building. By the time I get back from TN, I'll be in full gear. Rain is predicted for the entire week while I am there, so I will have some time to work on my laptop and still remain relaxed. I don't think I'll ever plan another "week before school begins" vacation again. :D The house is clean though and I am ready to begin a new school year. Lots of challenges to face with the budget crunch and time restraints, but we always seem to conquer the problems. I'm ready!!! Bring it on!! More when I get back.
