Vacation excitement

After completing a whole 2 weeks of class, im on a vacation. for the holidays. the rabbis need to be able to go away - i know of people in japan, hawaii, india... so i get a vacation out of it. nice!
it's not like my schedule isnt already a bit of a vacation - i only start teaching tomorrow. so i've been taking advantage of the time and reading a lot. read the new one by the kite runner dude, the 2nd in the rashi's daughter's trilogy, and finally got to the last harry book.
i fear trying to read another book because all three have just blown me away. i got wrapped up in the characters and engaged in their lives - from modern warfare to the rabbinic period and then the world of wizardry. it has been so nice to get to enjoy reading again and even nicer that ive been loving all the books.

asher really enjoys when i read becauase i tend to sit outside with him while he lays in the sun.

my first day of teaching is tomorrow - 2nd grade. 4th grade on Monday...and then no school Wednesday for RH. I love this time of year - a perfect way to transition back to ny....
