Vacation for a Teacher

I never appreciated how much teachers look forward to the school break just as much, if not more than the students do.

Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed having a few days off. With as long a summer break as they have here (almost 3 1/2 months) they don't have many break in between. I have done a lot of sitting and thus a lot of nothing. I'll probably regret not going to school at least one day and getting ahead of my class a little bit.

Wouldn't you guess though, my one thing that I had to do during the break was right in the middle of the BYU-Utah football game. I chose to not watch the beginning and try to catch up on the rest but rather to pay $15 to watch it the next day on the internet. Well, I made it almost 24 hours without checking any sports scores so I wouldn't see the score. I paid the money to watch it and just as the game was going to start it flashed the score on the computer screen. Then, the video stream was VERY choppy to the point that it was almost unwatchable. I scrapped the whole thing, wrote a note to the internet company, checked the highlights in ESPN and felt OK about life. Anyways, GO COUGARS!!!! and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
