snow days

News reporters are calling it the "February Fury". School was canceled on both Thursday and Friday for me, and our cars are still snowed in, so I bet I'm going to get cabin fever fairly soon.

This makes it the fifth snow day this school year. We only have two school days built into our schedule around Memorial Day, so I'm sure a lot of people are upset that instead of getting 5-days off from school that week, we're only getting that Monday off.

And then all additional snow days are added on to the end of the school year, meaning that instead of graduating on June 17th this year, with the three remaining make-up days, it'll be June 20th... and if we get more snow days, it'll just keep getting pushed back farther.

Makes no difference to me because I'll be on maternity leave, so bring on the snow days between now and March 19th (my last day)!! Hehehe!!

I've been watching the Winter Olympics (the daytime stuff, like curling!), doing lesson plans, grading lab reports, and cleaning up the house.

March 19 - that's coming up really soon! When are you "due"?

I'm due April 5th. My maternity leave starts March 19th, but the week after is not added to my 12 weeks of leave because that's Spring Break, so from March 19th there's only 12 weeks of school left, which is perfect for me! :)
