Summer Vacay

So, it's day 4 of summer vacay, and I'm already bored. I really need a job, or something to do..lol..so so far this was my vacay..
On Friday, our last day of school I flew out to NJ immediately after getting out of school at 12. I wanted to try and hop on an earlier flight, but the 3 o clock flight didn't leave til late and was totally full..thankfully my flight was at 4, and we left at about 4.05 so not late at all..(seeing as I've waited as long as 7 hours for a flight to take off)..Got to NJ and went out to a new Indian-Chinese restuarant..pretty good.
Saturday relaxed and had hibachi for lunch..then went to get ready for MARY POPPINS..went to see the broadway show..chim chimney chim chim cheree...good times..it was actually much better than I expected. Went out to have brick oven pizza and then went to 230 5th ..had a drink but it was a little cold so we went home.
Sunday we relaxed and then went to his parents house. It was father's day so we went out to dinner with his lovely dad, who on the drive to the restuarant, told me that only the best teacher should be teaching and that they should be taped and broadcast online to teach everyone but kindergarteners, and that in 10-15 years teachers will no longer be needed. This from the same guy who has also told me that librarian don't really do anything, and that chemical engineers (which my dad, and come to think of it HE, is) don't really have any work. He also told me the same day that he can find anything a librarian can online.
Anyways, Monday woke up way too early for the first day of vacay and went to the airport. Flew home and slept for a bit. Had taco bell for lunch and just relaxed.
Tuesday..switched around some school stuff for the summer..
Wednesday..all I did was go out to cancel my gym membership....down to my last $10 and so was thinking I'd pick up a few veggies and some bread to eat..but as I was looking for my gym membership card, I found $15 in Chili's gift certificates..whoo hoo...so I got a triple play and chips and salsa..yum
Now it's Thursday..and I was supposed to go to the beach, but my friend had to work..as all my friends do..lol..so I put up laundry, made some fried rice..I'm trying to make the Benihana's Fried Rice..so I had all the ingredients but scallions..so I made it anyways..was still pretty good..but the scallions would really have added something..and I think next time I'll add some sesame seeds and it'll be pretty close..then I did the dishes..and I want to do some more cleaning and then will probably go out to the burbs either tonight or tomorrow..gonna do some shopping and they have their annual fair so I'm excited.
Maybe I won't be as bored out there =)

Ugh

So..end of the school year, and the administration is working on the new classes for next year. They ask for our suggestions, but completed ignored them. So now there is going to be one class from hell, and one nice class. It's unfair to the teacher, and to the students. Maybe we should try reverse psychology next year, yes put John, Mike, and Carlos all together...maybe they'll kill each other...it wouldn't be a challenge at all...I can start putting Bailey's in my coffee, and rum in my Coke..I don't think they are troublesome at all, we're just not listening to them...because they're not listening to us, each other, or anyone else for that matter. It would be fun. It's the backwards logic of a large city district. Anything logical is turned upside down and then that's what mandated for each school. Say for example, the new attendance program, which needs a computer and internet connection for, most classrooms don't have a computer that works (so we got new ones YAY)..and once that was fixed..the server blew out and one entire section of the district can't use their new computers. Great.
