I'm sitting in the computer lab of an elementary school, helping second and third graders log onto things like Disney Channel or Hotwheels.... it's really thrilling. Really. I am waiting for 4:30 and my release. Normally I am not impatient about getting out of work. Normally I'm surprised that it's 4:30 already. So why is this day going so slowly?
Why? Because I woke up this morning wondering why Mark had set the alarm on a Saturday morning. And then I thought, "no, it's not Saturday, it's Friday." But no, I was still wrong. With a horrid jolt of reality, I realized that it was Thursday. Yes. That's right. Only Thursday. Awful, evil Thursday. This realization was made worse by the thought that after Friday, I'm on Spring Break, and I don't have to work for ONE WHOLE WEEK. I almost cried.
That is why this day has dragged on, slowly, so slowly. I am the tortoise, spring break is the carrot. I can't seem to reach this goal, even though I can see it, even though it is soooooo close. It's cruel really. It's got to be 4:30 somewhere in the world. That has to count, right? Can I go now? Please? Please?

I don't think tortoises eat carrots.
So close...only 15 more minutes. :)
A whole week of freedom. I am so jealous. I have no freedom. None. Blah.
