It's Over

Tehnically, my summer has begun. In reality, I can't say that until Tuesday.

I'm in my classroom now, finding ways to kill time before graduation. I had no desire to leave school, go home and come right back because traffic on 288 lacks pleasure. So I am sitting in my empty room, feeling like a prisoner with nothing to do. I've checked my e-mail. I've checked cnn.com, tmz.com, chron.com, read Junebug's and Christine's blog (as well as a blog from Christine's sight, someone named Al). I just realized that I haven't read imdb.com yet, so I'll do that after finishing my random thoughts.

My grades are done, my finals are done, my classroom is cleaned, my computer is wiped clean. I am finished with most things - and I'm coming back on Tuesday to work on a grant (finish the grant). I wanted to meet around noon (so that I could sleep in), but I'm back here at 9. Hopefully I'll be done by 11-12. I just want to be done at this point; why drag things out.

I have no idea what I will do this summer. I have no plans to go to NY this year (which sucks, but I need money for my apartment). I'm not working yet (although I might temp... I was kicked off the summer school teaching list because "there are two extra English teachers signed up and [the summer school leader] had to take off the last two to sign up." I am not signed up for any workshops because I'm in between schools (although I am going to Dallas for three days for working - grading essay exams). The Sailor and I broke up a couple of weeks ago and most of my friends live outside the city limits, so my social life will be very small.

I might actually be bored. Last summer I was dating, I had many workshops, I took a couple of trips. This summer I might have nothing to do. I have novels to read, but that's nothing major. I could work on my screenplay (again), and maybe actually finish it (after three years). I did sign up for the ballroom dancing lessons, but those are on Sundays. I won't be moving until July and will be packing for only a few days and unpacking for a few more days.

Any suggestions as to how to fill my time?
