Where has summer gone?

Unlike popular belief, teachers do not have their summers off. For most of us molders of minds, when the kids our done taking classes, we begin. For me this summer is the summer of the English class. A few months back I decided to get an additional teaching endorsements, so that I can have the option to teach high school. This process involves six classes, three of which are English classes. I was able to find two classes for this summer: Shakespeare and 20th Century lit. These are 6 week classes and the work load is unreal. I was lucky enough to schedule both classes for the same days Tuesday and Thursday, but each class is 4 hours long. The 4 hours on top of the commute gives me a 10 hour day. On the off days I am doing nothing but reading and writing papers. I'm enjoying the classes, but will be glad when I am done.
