I only felt pain in my right knee today which is good I suppose. I stretched a lot after && Ill prolly need to stretch again later. The run was hard which makes me worried bc Chicago marathon training officially starts on Monday. Im sure Ill get back into what I consider in shape soon. Its not that my run was bad, Im just used to doing better. I feel guilty that I didnt do the Harvard Milk Days run this morning. Maybe next year. Im too frustrated w my running right now. Im still planning on going to Milk Days tmrw tho so that Bill can see Harvard.

I just about completed my written report that is due on Tuesday yesterday. Its slightly too long. Im going to have Bill proofread it today && help me get rid of the garbage. Im really nervous bc this is my first graduate level assignment. I feel like I spent too much time on it, but I dont think the time spent measures up to the quality of the work.

Summer vacation officially started once I left work on Wednesday. I cant believe I have already completed my first full year of teaching. As much as I have been wanting summer to come, I really didnt want the year to be over. I know that makes little sense, but Im completely nervous as to what next year will bring. I really liked my course load && I liked most of my classes. I fear that next year will not compare. B4 was an absolute joke, but my other Geometry classes were great. Ill definitely miss my honors Geometry class. They always put me in a good mood. My daily Algebra class was a riot. There were days where that class was a challenge, but I never didnt have a story to tell. I really will miss those kids. Next year Ill be teaching mostly Algebra, if not all. Apparently 50 or so students failed Algebra this year. Idk how that happens, bc aton failed out of first semester as well. Thats almost pathetic how poor the Algebra program seems to have gotten. Unfortunately, a lot less Geometry sections will be offered next year. That makes me sad. Plus, I dont want to teach using the Saxon textbook. I really preferred using no Algebra textbook at all.

Now that high school is out for the summer, I can finally get to the wedding planning I have been putting off until summer. I prolly need to make a list of the things I need to do. Most of the big things are taken care of. Im planning to check out a photographer on Thursday. Im nervous bc I want the wedding to turn out nice && I dont think I have come to realize all of the lil things that need to be done yet.

I start cashiering at the pool on Monday. The pay sucks, but its still pretty easy pocket cash. I can read on the job or get a decent amount of lesson planning completed. Plus, Im partially doing it for the free summer fitness center membership anyway. I honestly just want to be able to lift a couple nights a wk && have a place to go on rainy days.
