In two weeks the semester is over and my summer will officially begin. And somehow the anticipation of this summer makes me feel like a little school girl again. The excited feeling in the pit of your stomach that makes me smile for no reason at all, the need to draw big red crosses on the days that are passing and all those plans and dreams bouncing around in my head.
There are so many things I want to do and so many projects I have planned that I fear the summer may not be long enough. But with the promise of warmer weather and a city adventure on the horizon I am sure this will be a summer I will remember.
However as I yearn for tomorrow I must not forget today nor should I neglect my duties that I still have. My students are busy finishing up their projects and deserve my full attention, then there is grading and paperwork that needs to be done.
So I am trying to put my dreaming on hold, anchor myself in today and be right in the now. Hard when your inner child has already packed her brightly coloured bucket and spade and is impatiently waiting to go down to the beach and play. But she will have have to wait for a little while longer count down the days until it’s time to build sandcastles out dreams.
castles, dreams built of sand
jensinewall 
sand castles make me ill
i am your God and between the opening of the red sea
and the hor muse strait the iran rectum
there are fools making the Earth’s image in sand
and making million dollar homes
in 14 generations a meteor shower shall wash them away
shaking the earth in its foundations and exploding 2002 eruptions
triggering another great flood followed by an ice age & Exodus
a fool builds in the sand yet my monks in Tibet
they celebrate the seasons of creation and of destruction
so i forgive you for making sand castles
they make a point, that life is beautiful, like you
okay … intrigued by your odd comment need to think about it but thanks not feeling very beautiful today … after cold effects of red nose and rash still making me look like an ogre
i have 30,000 and 3 names one is Shrek i am a jealous God so all Hollywood heroes are me i am infinite. Rejoice with me my wife is pregnant. Now i need 999 moor sons
lol
How exciting for you! Good luck staying focussed! I have decided not to renew my contract where I work, my last day is the 24th and I have to work hard to still give it all I have.
wow, how exciting and hope the future holds wonderful things for you, which I am sure it does
Thanks Jensine!
It’s interesting how even if one has to work throughout the summer, the season still has that wonderful out-of-school feeling to it. The weather is nice; vacations take place; less commitments to attend to. Of course, that makes it all the more difficult to get the necessary work done…
too true
