I Need a Vacation!

I can tell that the end of the quarter is coming up because I DEFINITELY need a break. I am not sure why, but this year has just been really stressful. It seems like we have more meetings than usual and plus, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE SOOOO DRAMATIC!!! I should seriously start a blog about a day in the life of a high school teacher. Although, I do not have time for that! I can honestly say, though, that I hear some of the most interesting things from my students. At least I do not have to tie their shoes and wipe their noses like teachers do in elementary schools--UGH! I don't think I want to go back there--I give props to all those who work in the elementary schools!

Well, if you are also feeling stressed, here is a little test to tell if you are stressed and need a vacation:


"The picture below was used in a case study on stress levels at St. Mary's Hospital. Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical, a person under stress would find differences between the two dolphins. The more differences a person finds between the dolphins, the more stress that person is experiencing.
Look at the photograph, and if you find more than one or two differences, you may want to take a vacation or at least get a massage." (sharpbrains.com)


I don't know about anyone else, but I failed that test!!! Well, at least it is the weekend! May you relax and laugh lots!

I know what you mean about high school students. The things they do make me laugh. They don't realize how entertaining they are. I really enjoy it though. I hope things calm down a bit for you. Do you have time off in October? I get 2 weeks, but I don't know what I will do with myself since Jeff will be in school. I wish we could go on a little trip, but oh well. At least I will get a break and I hope you do too!
