What a Wonderful Day!

[enjoyingitall]

Today marks the official beginning of summer vacation.
All the finals have been graded, all the grades are posted, all the end of the term tasks have been completed. I can get out of teacher mode for the summer.

A perfect morning in Southern California. I went for a run early, along the coast. It was simply gorgeous. Now, I have my coffee, some music on, and I don't have to do anything or be any where.
I love the summer!

I'm in such a good mood, just wanted to start a thread for others who might want to post about what's good in their corner of the world today.

So, anything wonderful happening in your world today?

Not so far, but, I'm a perpetual optimist!

Good for you, enjoyingitall!

I have no complaints for my day- thus far.

A great attitude to be sure, plasticman. Lots of others could learn to be a bit more on the optimistic side.

Thanks, raindancer. Hope your day continues to be "complaintless"

enjoyingitall, it must be nice to have the whole summer off! My sister is a school teacher also, when she'd complain about her pay, I'd tell her there were very few jobs where you got every holiday, spring & winter breaks and your summers off. She'd usually quiet down!

It's great. And I fully appreciate the perks of my job. True, the pay isn't that great, but..money isn't everything.
Having three months of play time..that's my kinda job.

good for you enjoyingit all but i've got a suspician that you enjoy yourself even when school's in session. your average pessimist would'nt choose your title.

i had someone recently ask me where i like to go on vacation and i had to laugh when i answered, "i'm self employed, i live in (a great central texas tourist town). why would i want to go on vacation. if i couldn't be happy where i am doing what i'm doing it ain't gonna happen anywhere.

enjoy your summer!!!

I should have become a teacher, but, being mercenary I opted to become an engineer instead.

Thanks, Unclej..yep.. I do pretty much enjoy myself no matter what or when. And I love my job, but the breaks are welcomed!

I know what you mean about going away on vacations. I live in San Diego..so much fun stuff to do here, too.

Plasticman..lol@mercenary. My husband is also an engineer, I can relate.

Meant to ask you unclej, ever been to the Gruen dancehall? Went there many years ago when I was in the Air Force, then had a chance to get back there about two years ago. It's a neat old place.

Absolutely adorable 3rd graders!!

 

[enjoyingitall]

Yikes..3rd graders!! I'm so very glad there are those who love teaching little ones. I know my limitations, I could never do it. Give me a middle or high school student any day.
