Summer planning

[bee_york]

I'm just chilling with my coffee on the laptop, chatting with v0idnull about summer plans and half-listening to The Early Show. There will be much BBQ-ing and picnics on the mountain this summer, and y'all are invited. It's gonna be awesome times indeed!

I can't believe next weekend is....the end. The end of Lost. Just 1 week away. I'm going to be so upset, I don't even know...I'm going to be going through some serious withdrawal indeed. I'm addicted. I have a problem. LOST. How am I going to handle it being gone forever? T_____T The party that the wonderful oo_maya_oo is so graciously letting me host at her place is gonna be awesome, though. The blow will be less difficult to take if I'm surrounded by friends! ;)

But something that is QUITE a bit worst than Lost ending....school is gonna be done in less than 6 weeks. This is stressing me out SO MUCH, for several reasons. 1, I can't believe I'm not going to be seeing my wonderful students ever again. Trust me, there's a few of them who I am positively GIDDY about never having to deal with again, and that's an understatement! ;) But the majority of them? Oh gods no, I have grown so unbelievably attached to them. I LOVE THEM. *How* am I gonna deal with never seeing them again?!
And reason 2 this is stressing me out like crazy...I'm going to be unemployed! UGH! There's apparently special "teacher's unemployment" I can get, which exists especially for people like me--brand new teachers who are just starting out and who don't have contracts that go into the next year, so therefore can't get paid over the summer like the rest of the teachers are. I think that's awesome that it exists, to put it mildly. :) But, I only worked part-time this year...I have a feeling that it won't be much that I'll be getting. I'm thinking I'll have to find a job for the summer, and next September I'll take on a full-time job, so that NEXT summer I can get teacher's unemployment and be OK. :)

So anyway, yeah. Pretty stressful. I'm excited for summer, but all these sad/icky situations are coming up soon that are out of my control. All I can do is try not to think too much about them.

Something tells me I'm going to be spending the first week of summer crying and bawling and drinking a lot, heh. :P

When Lost finally ends I'm going to try to rewatch the show from the beginning. It will be interesting to watch it knowing how it ends and being able to pick little things that now make sense. But still sad.

Are you and Mike interested in going to Tams tomorrow? It's going to be good weather and for once I actually have the night off work too.

Hey yeah, I was thinking about how you were off work now. You have the following week off, right?
Yeah, Mike and I were talking about going to Tams tomorrow, as were Alex and I. Mike's taking a few hours off work, we're going to head to Tams around 1. How does that sound?

Yeah I'm off until Victoria Day. 1pm works for me.

"IM GOING TO THE TOY CONVENTION" ALL LIES

I said I'd TRY to go. ;P But seeing as Mike doesn't have the day off, we can't drive there now so I'm not going. (No way am I going to take the metro and bus all the way out to St-Laurent, especially when I can be at Tams instead!)
