it comes up fast on you

im slowly starting to realize that its almost the end of the year for me. usually im counting down the days when spring break hits, but this year i havent really even given it much thought. weve only got 9 days left! yikes!!! thats a good thing and a bad thing. its good because, well, lets face it: then its summer vacation! but its also a bad thing because i have so much to cover yet with the kids before schools out, and because this means the 8th graders will be gone forever! thats a sad thought for me. when i started here the current 8th graders were my homeroom kids, and now they are moving on out of here. there are some really great kids in that class and im really going to miss seeing them everyday. it sounds cheesy, i know, but us teachers really actually do love our students! ive only got them for one more week, so i guess i should make the most of it and enjoy these last few days. either that, or ill just give them all F's so they will have to come back here next year...
