With T-minus-three-and-a-half school days left before the kiddies head out to enjoy their summers, my colleagues and I are beginning to walk around like zombies from a very bad “B” movie when they realize they are actually more alive than dead.

Summer’s almost here. Hooray!

And I don’t say that lightly. I’m actually not one to count down days and make a big to-do about summer break. This year is different, though.

In a little over a week, I’m going to transition from being a full-time teacher to being a full-time student, if only for 5 weeks. All things considered, I’m really looking forward to the change.
