J41: Weekend or Summer Plans

My weekend was mostly on the unexciting side (what's new?!), so I guess I'll talk about my summer plans. First off, I plan to spend a couple of weeks sleeping late and watching late night television till one or two in the morning. Geez, I miss that quite a bit during the school year. By that point I'll probably be a bit more worn out from gardening/farmer's market. Sometime in mid-June I have to start making good on my commitment to the National Writing Project and start attending the Summer Institute of the OWP at MSU. That sounds like a lot of fun and work; I'm not sure yet which side will take the majority. I do know that I will have a nightly assignment of a solid hour of writing. I know you all are intimidated by such an idea, but I'm really anxious to get started. We'll see how long that ambition lasts. After the three or so weeks of SI, I have a bit of a break (which includes my birthday), and then (assuming my application is accepted) I'll have the Advanced Institute to complete so I'll be an official NWP Teacher Consultant...woot! So, to my kiddoes I'm sure this sounds like quite a drag, but I think it will be fun.
