FYI on Rach and Ry: Ticked

Ticked

My school doesn't end until the 24th of June. THE 24th!!! What kind of a state is this??? When I taught in Utah, I was out by the 24th of May.

At this point in the year, I start to get a really bad attitude about the 5:30 a.m. alarm clock, the 30-minute commute each way, and the fact that all of my friends are out enjoying the sunny weather together.

Grrr.
