Not My Idea of Playing Hookey

Usually when I take a day off, or as we call them at work "Mental Health Day", I'm doing something FUN, such as sleeping, going to lunch with family or friends, traveling, have a spa day, things of those nature (as a teacher one rarely takes a day for actually being sick; way too much prep on our part for a sub. It's easier to just show up).

Not today.

Took today off to finish my assignments I've been ignoring.

Yes I'm at the library.

Working on some of the seven assignments that are due by tomorrow.

Pretty sure the way I've been feeling the past two weeks is TEN TIMES WORSE than the senioritis I had in college.

Pretty sure it's worse as I've sort of stopped caring.

Not good, I know.

So, instead of being pampered or relaxing, I'm sitting on a wooden chair, in a wooded cubicle trying to ignore the hot guy across from me and actually do my assignments.

I think I deserve a reward for buckling down. If I could, I'd eat some cheesecake.

I'll settle for dreaming about my trip to New York, which yes, is official as the tickets have been bought.

Now if I could just get Funaki to agree to do the rest of my assignments I could take the time to look at the boy across from me AND dream about the trip.

Hey, can I get in on some of that cash? I'll do it for $49.95.

Good luck with it all. Brandon's been paranoid all week about a math test he has tomorrow. Finally he just said to himself, "I've already done what I need to graduate, this is just for the math minor. If I don't get a math minor, I don't get a math minor, eh."

You can do this. And then it will be done and you'll be so proud of yourself, as will the rest of us.
