Update-y type thing

romantical* Boys went to Memorial Cup and got to the final, but sadly lost. They had an amazing season and I'm so proud of them. They've all gone home now, and so we really didn't get a chance to celebrate them, which is a bummer, but there's nothing to be done. I know a lot of them won't be coming back next year, and it makes me very sad. That's the nature of junior hockey these days, especially with the NCAA ruling that allows them to go to college in the US now, so we're going to see a different kind of make-up with not as many people staying as long, and the coming in at different times.
* 8 more days of school. This year has been weird - both fast and slow - and there are a lot of changes coming so we'll have to see how it all plays out. We met the new teacher coming in and I'm unsure about her given the impression she gave. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt, because what else can you do, right?
* There was a discussion I had with someone about taking a different position and going from para to student advocate. The person said that some of those spots are opening up, so I'm leaning toward asking her about what to do to apply. She seems to think I'd be really good at it, but I feel like not speaking Spanish or Ukrainian puts me at a disadvantage. We shall see.
* Each month at school one of the departments is in charge of cleaning the staff room and doing fun stuff related to that. June is paraeducators and, given that you've all met me, I'm sure you've realized that I've gone overboard. Someone asked me to be in charge and the rest of the paras donated, so I'm doing something every day (we only have 13 days of school in the month) and I'm obviously winning the contest that doesn't exist. But I AM winning, and that's the important thing. I cannot help it that doing things for people and giving them things/experiences is my favorite thing to do.
* Trying to make summer somewhat structured since I am bad when it is not. Planning a trip to Texas to see the BFF but other than that, there's nothing concrete. I have a list of ideas, but who knows if I'll follow through. That hasn't been my strong suit since finishing school.
* The end of the Booster Club's fiscal year is 6/30 so I really need to focus on the books. Maybe I'll do that this weekend. That'll give me time to annoy people into making sure I have all their receipts. (I will likely not end up with all their receipts).
* There are groceries to buy and laundry to do. Which I should do. Yes.
* Monday is youngest kidlet's birthday. He's going to be 22. That is not a real and possible thing, AND YET.
