Almost the End

Just four more days of students.  I can hardly believe it.  On one hand, it feels like this school year has been an endless morass, a Sisyphean task.  On the other hand, I'm amazed at what I've accomplished in such a short amount of time: packing and moving 4,000 lbs. of possessions; completing the transcontinental journey; getting a job before the economy completely collapsed; helping build a school unlike any other, and thereby changing the face of American education as we know it--I exaggerate not; navigating the waters of the housing market and match.com--not sure which is dicier.  I do know that I'm ready for the bookend of this year.
