Sniffles & Number 2 Pencils

It's been a solid week now of rain. It's lousy. Every day, same thing as the last. I just checked weather.com, and it's looking like the sun is coming out next Saturday? Well hooray.

I'm officially on vacation for the next month-ish, so I'm hoping it gets nice & I can cram some beach time in before I have to start teaching. Yesterday I took the test for my reading specialist license. One of the things I dread the most about standardized tests is having to sit in a room with 30 other people who don't understand that I need total silence, or a constant noise, in order to concentrate. I was annoyed enough when the girl behind me began sniffling as we approached the second hour of testing. But then, THEN, she began reading some of her questions out loud to herself. She was taking a different test, so I couldn't even coordinate and take advantage of her reading my questions for me. I could've finished my test a lot sooner, but I spent a considerable amount of time deciding whether I should turn around and hit her, or tell her that a reading specialist would be concerned that she's older than 3rd grade and still isn't using her inner voice as she reads.

Well since my only work now consists of getting out job applications, I've found some other lofty ways to bide my time. Like this--a survey that Charlotte asked me to do (actually, I think the real term is "tagged"). The rules are that you bold the things that are true about you, italicise the things you wish you were true, add one true thing about you, and then tag five more people.

So, read it if you want, or don't if you don't want to...I just enjoyed having something purposeful to do. Or, "purposeful." And then, fill it out & share it yourself, if you want to.
