Memorial Weekend
One of the hard things about being a teacher is that Memorial Day always represents an opportunity to catch up on grading right before the end of the year. Thus, not so relaxing. Of course, until next year, Labor Day has always represented the last opportunity to get everything done before the school year starts. (Next year it'll be the first three day weekend, so hopefully I can actually take off.)
My parents are currently at the race. I am a bad daughter and did not manage to actually talk to them before they left. I did IM with my mom before she left, but by the time I had time to call on the night before they left, it was way too late. That's the biggest downside to living across the country from my parents - the time difference makes things hard.
This has been a relaxing weekend. We've accomplished almost nothing we intended to (like cleaning the house yesterday) but have had a nice time just sitting around, playing games and catching up on Crossing Jordan. Also went on an 8-mile walk yesterday, leading to slight sunburn. I do have two projects that MUST get finished today and I have to head in for a few hours to meet with various people. Nevertheless, a nice time. I'm glad it is almost summer. I could get used to this.
