'If I hide myself where ever I go, am I ever really there...'

*Not sure why, but Stunt and Everything To Everyone has been playing non-stop on my iPod for the past week or so. I forgot how many good songs there were on those two albums, though I think I might prefer Stunt--Call and Answer and It's All Been Done are definite two awesome songs :D Nothing like music that brings you back to your early years (and we're talking as far back as 5th grade!).

*I saw Transformers with Adam in London on the big IMAX; what an awesome movie! Granted I still say the first one was the best, but this one was a definite close second. I think the power of the IMAX added to the effects. Though, I must admit, at some points, I felt a bit like I did at the end of The Dark Knight; complete sensory overload.

*We're really starting to wind down the year at this point; everyone seems to be in 'end of the year' mode. I am really looking forward to the end of the year, regardless of all the vacation we were given during the school year. I know that those breaks are certainly needed, especially when you have KS4 and 5 classes, but I think that June 21st will always remain, in my mind, as the 'last day of school' (as it was for 12 years of my life). Of course I cannot let that get in the way--something tells me that my explanation for why I've decided not to teach my students past the 21st of June wouldn't exactly fly with the principal of my school (with good reason).

*We have Sports Day tomorrow. This major event is nation wide, so we're not the only school crazy enough to bring students out on a 92 degree day (believe me, I'm going to look like an oversized lobster after tomorrow, regardless of the amount of sunscreen I apply). In all honesty, regardless of the heat, I think this will be fun. As I was telling a colleague of mine who asked why we didn't have sports day, this is something to cover the lack of Football/Basketball/Hockey games we have (not to mention Homecomming).

*I think Adam and I might see All's Well That Ends Well in Regents Park this weekend :) Should be really nice, given the weather isn't too ghastly hot.

*Less than 3 weeks until I'm home! So excited to see everyone!

Okay I must be off. Time for bed and then up tomorrow for a nice healthy dose of sun stroke! :)
