I bet you need a nap

Let's see... It's the first Monday of June. That means that most of you are starting your last week of the school year. If that's true, then the following are probably also true:

1. You were up until 3:00 this morning grading some horrific final project and/or paper.
2. You're starting to think of "alternative assessments" in order to get everything else done by Wednesday.
3. You've told close family and friends that you'll see them in a week and that you can't be held personally responsible for anything you say or do over the next 100 hours.
4. You're considering whether or not PJs are appropriate dress for work.
5. You're hedging on your "no caffeine after noon" rule.
6. You're no longer signing yearbooks with quite the same generosity.
7. You're awaiting some sort of Old Testament-like plague to ravage the school thanks to outgoing seniors.
8. You haven't ironed/hung out your graduation robe yet.
9. You're looking forward to summer, and yet there's a part of you that's actually going to miss the chaos.
10. Survival mode has supplanted long-term curricular goals.

Good luck in these closing days. Next week will be different...
