We had our conferences Monday and Tuesday - longest two days ever!
I'm not doing anything too exciting over Spring Break, this is the first time in 8 years that we're not going to Mexico...
At least we've got a good reason. His name is going to be Clifford (we may have to reconsider if he's born a redhead

I will be helping my father-in-law set up a 75 gallon sw tank in his office and hanging with my new little one, and I guess the older ones too. Oh, golf and beer will make an showing.

Teaching is a great career, it's one of those few occupations where you really know you're making a difference in the world.
Some other pro's to being a teacher:
*MonsterFishKeeping at Work (I mean actual fish-keeping, not just online)
*Paid Holidays
*Great Benefits
*Christmas Vacation
*Job Security (no shortage of rug-rats in this world)
*Summer Vacation
*Getting to Know Your Community
*Spring Break
*Being a Kid's Favorite Teacher!
There are some con's:
*Sick All the Time
*Low Pay (Especially at first)
*Long Hours
*Crazy Kids
*Crazier Parents
The tanks pictured are both at my school. The saltwater tank is in my classroom, it has two Clown Fish, one predictably named Nemo, the other one is Fellini. The Snapping Turtle is in the lobby. I got the tank for free from OSU's Vet School and got a permit from the ODFW for Snappy both due to working at a public school.
Good Luck!
rock on very nice to have that at your classroom
