At the Vineyard...
.. and what book do I buy?
Master the GRE
iBT. Yep. GRE preparation. Going to start in a
Masters' Program. Granted, I have to get accepted first, but that should be
simple, since I am not applying for any paid assistantships... I'm already
teaching, thank you. One day a week for two years, something like that. And only
one class is not taught in the evening block. I'm fairly certain I can get one
day off a week for 15 weeks... either that, or I pull the gender card and demand
maternity leave. I know, I'm not a woman, I am not pregnant, nor am I going to
be so. But, I have 72 days of sick leave built up, more than most female
teachers who take maternity leave. If they don't let me take my one day a week,
then I'll take all 72... and start building up days
again.
But, I think we can come to an understanding beneficial to all parties.
So, the drive up was two days- 14 and 15 June. I stopped in Joppa, MD, the first day, then hopped to Woods Hole and the ferry by 3:30 the next, was on the ferry at 5, on the island by 6:00. Was a short trip.
And, I apparently brought the good weather with me once again. Before I got here, it was stormy and wet and damp and chilly. I get here, and it is sunny and warm and perfect beach weather.
Speaking of perfect beach weather, yesterday was the summer solstice, and I did what every good olde believer should do on such a day. I went to The Beach. Was comfortable. Was there for about three hours, with the whole trip being close to five... it takes 35 minutes to travel one way, and another 20 to walk both ways from the parking lot. But, I was on The Beach for about three hours. Water was perfect! Surf was coming in most of the time I was there, but it never encroached on my towel. The only downside to that location is that there is zero cellular service there. If you consider that a bad thing.
Other things I've done: solved telephone bill issues, installed new telephone system (the phone upstairs was dead), gardened, cleaned, resolved gas heater issues, purchased the space heater (unnecessary right now), signed in at the office, opened the PO box, and spent far too much time missing, despite all the time I've spent thinking of. As Lindsay says, "It's good to have someone to miss."
Yes, it is.
Off to dinner! probably Park Corner Bistro tonight... I'll stop by Jimmy Sea's to see who's tending bar, but I think I need something lighter than pan-seared pasta tonight.
SURSA! WIN!
