Kid home sick

but he still had to go in for standardized tests. He's home bored waiting for me to finish work so we can go to the doctor and the doctor can tell him he has a sinus infection and then we can go get antibiotics.
My group from Shakespeare is coming over later this afternoon-we will study our lines for Twelfth Night and figure out props and costumes-I feel like I am in high school again-not liking this assignment at all.
Read some great stories in fiction though and got good feedback on my story and A- on psych theory in Max Where the Wild Things Are.
Some days I wonder exactly why I am back in school...this is one of those days....

Last paper for literary criticism

and I'm a bit tired of Max in Where the Wild Things Are. I always knew this was a great book, but I have such a different perspective on it now. And the movie is coming out this fall. I will definitely see it because I have to critique it after all my work on different literary theories.
Back to school tomorrow. I can't wait until May 18th.
Tomorrow my last short story gets workshopped-always a scary thing.
Have to memorize my lines from Twelfth Night. I'm going to watch it tonight and pay attention to Olivia's role-that's my part!
The boys are gone tonight so I'm getting lots of work done.
Maybe my allergies will be better tomorrow-I've really been suffering these last few days-to be able to breathe again would be great!
Oh well-off to Shakespeare!

3 weeks left

of this semester. I am so exhausted and feeling a bit crummy-stuffed up and overwhelmed. Papers, memorization of a scene in Twelfth Night, finals, ugh! It is so hard on my old brain. I am so looking forward to this summer. And of course have to get Nic through 7th grade. He's got the 7th grade slump-sick of school and ready for summer. He has tons of projects too. And I have all those permission slips to sign-constant stuff to do. Honestly, school makes work seem easy. I look forward to working because I know what I'm doing. Anyway I'm too cranky. Full weekend ahead: Kenny Williams Band tomorrow night, last dance of the year for Nic, work Saturday and then party Saturday night. When will I fit in school work?
