American Idol is finally over! I watched it all this season, and now I sort of feel like it was a waste of time. I really liked Crystal Bowersox, and of course, she didn't win. She's an amazing singer, and I'm sure she'll do just fine without the title. Now I have to focus my efforts on "So You Think You Can Dance." Can't you tell school's over? Bill and I are leaving for Portland this Saturday for a visit with my mom, Ben, Becca, Kathy, Doug, etc. Bill's just staying for a week (I'm sure he'll get tired of dinking around Portland while I spend time with mom), so I told him he could head on home, and I'll fly back a week later. The good thing is, Bill loves to drive, and this will give him an opportunity to see a bit more of the countryside (Oregon, Nevada). I'm looking forward to the trip, and will relish the time away from the classroom.
We had graduation this afternoon, and it took 2 hours! When the Valedictorians (2), principal, and the student body president spoke, plus a few musical numbers, we thought the kids would walk, and off we'd be. But no, the president of the school board decided to speak, also, and he was boring. I thought it would be funny if we (teachers on the stage) all began texting one another, while the program went on. I say turn about is fair play, since our "former" students always seemed to enjoy texting while we lectured in class, but we chickened out. You can't win them all.
