Tuesday, June 12th

Whoah, Nelly!!!
It was one crazy day and not the normal Tuesday routine. The end of the school year is fraught with so many emotions and tensions. There is so much to do and so little time.  Students and adults alike are tired and stressed and it is difficult to keep everything well-balanced.
Need to take a step back and a take a deep breath and focus on one thing at a time. It will soon be time for summer holidays.
I guess the lousy rainy and unusually cool weather hasn't helped and some things are apparently going on in the heavens above us that won't happen again for many, many years. Time to acknowledge everyone's stresses and just try to support each other.

No new homework
