this is how the year ends...

not with a bang, but a whimper.

After a long winter of my whining and crying and throwing things about the house after making myriad disappointing discoveries that despite terrible road conditions my district decided against cancelling school, I wake up this morning - a beautiful, warm, sunny morning - to a phone call informing me that today is the day school gets cancelled.  This, the last day before final exams.

Humph.  Better late than never, I suppose, however a question lingers: what the Hades am I going to do about my 20 students who still have to present their final projects???  Arg!

Answer: Stop stressing and go see Iron Man, I guess.  Tra la la la la...
