18 freakin days

I am struggling to make it to the last day of school.
I wonder who else feels like this?
I hear the bell ringing.
I see lots of emails.
I want Istep to be over.
I am struggling to make it to the last day of school.

I pretend that we are an A school.
I feel proud of my students.
I touch my ipad.
I worry about test scores.
I cried when I found out that one student missed passing a test by 4 points.
I am struggling to make it to the last day of school.

I understand that there are only 18 days of school left.
I say, "May 28th can't get here fast enough."
I dream that it's 4:00 on May 28th.
I try to remain calm.
I am struggling to make it to the last day of school.

I swear I taught this kid how to tell time!
