Update

It's been a really long time since I've posted a blog here. I have, of course, written blogs. I have just failed to post them, for a variety of reasons. The last few weeks have been exhausting and rather emotional, so I'm not sure that my thoughts from that time period are appropriate for the world to read. Just to give an idea of everything I've done....

I went to a Sr/Jr breakfast.
I went to an inter-house party.
I helped organize the last house competition and had my house win the cup again.
I wrote and graded six finals (six different classes, that is).
I went to two graduations.
I hung out with family here for my sister's graduation.
I turned in final grades.
I said good-bye to my students of five years (though hopefully I'll see them again.)
I packed and moved out of my classroom at school and my house.
I placed and received two orders with Sysco for camp.
I moved into my cabin at camp...well...sort of. I have sheets on my bed!
I started training three gals how to cook in mass quantities.
I fed 50 people three meals a day for about 4 days.
I played Ultimate Frisbee and helped with a Highway Clean-up.
I helped clean two large convection ovens.
I got new Chacos!
I made hundreds (thousands?) of cookies, at home and at camp.
I have tried desperately to finish and order the yearbook.
I became re-acquainted with old friends and met new ones.
I gave hundreds of hugs.
I planned menus for two weeks.
I attended about 5 staff meetings without learning anything new.
I played a crazy game of ping-pong and laughed until my abs ached.
I slept way less than I should.
I cried numerous times for various reasons.
I laughed even more numerous times.
I bought material to make more aprons for more people.
I organized two walk-in freezers, a walk-in cooler, and two dry storage areas.

Yup, that's a bit of my life for the past month or so. Quite a ride! I'm hoping it will be a wee bit and at that time perhaps I'll catch up on my blogging. If I can remember my ideas that long... :)

Wow, a whole gigantic bunch lot of activities (I mean, works ^^). Thank you for your ultimate pictures, and all the encouragements. Hopefully we'd meet again someday (which actually likely to happen after a couple of years or so, I believe)
Best wishes for you, teacher! Please help the Middle Earth (^^) happier with love and cookies.
