Yup! I'm not leaving tomorrow (Friday, our half day) until the grades are

done, or midnight...whichever comes last! I'm having a noon to midnight LAN

party for my students. I'll enjoy break so much more if I don't have any

papers to grade!

Hee hee! I am actually very very seriously considering getting a Personal

Trainer certification. I don't think I'd leave teaching because I love

being a teacher. But I could hire a personal trainer, or I could learn it

Your welcome and thank you! You enjoy yours too.
