I LOVE Incarceration!

Boy, I must say one thing: I am so very fond of high stress weeks. I relish the lack of time to sufficiently grade, lesson plan, create study guides, and tests. I love how much crazier life seems with less sleep. I am a huge fan of spending 4-5 hours a night at rehearsal, while I end up waiting around for a good 40% of the time as lights get set. My time being spent whilst studying for the Nevada Law, Nevada Constitution, and U.S. Constitution tests on Saturday (to be fully certified in Nevada, these are three of the 8 tests I need that I didn't need in Idaho) can be described as nothing but delightful. Wow, is my life great or what?

Teacher Appreciation Week has been okay. Lots of food. Today, we're all supposed to receive a special gift from our PTF (Parent Teacher Fellowship) group. If it's like last year, I'll also receive gifts from the students. I really don't tend to do much with them--I think I have the bulk of them in the gift bags they came in last year. Is that bad? I appreciate the thought, does that count for anything?

The title of this post comes from the song, "The Maison de Lune" from Beauty and the Beast. Since I feel like I am well on my way to a massive meltdown, this was a great title.
