16 days

That's how many school days I have to survive before Spring Break, and I'm equal parts excited and terrified.  If I can stay on the ball and get the next few weeks' worth of lesson plans written--as well as the post-Spring Break plans done for when I'll be gone prepping for my first Masters Exam--it won't be nearly so terrifying. 

However, it's VERY tough to lesson plan...when you just don't want to work.  Students aren't the only ones struggling to hold on 'til the break!  Teachers are fighting through it, too, but it's like struggling in quicksand: the more you struggle, the faster you sink. 

That being said, since there was no class tonight AND I not only finished grading last Friday before leaving, I also got lesson plans for the rest of THIS week done, I really have no excuse for NOT getting the rest of my work done.  I'm going to buckle-down, make a spreadsheet of days left and get 'er done!  ...  As soon as I finish watching the news.  ;)
