It is a special breed of frustrating, marking high school English assignments. The rest of the job is great, though, aside from the no sleep thing.

Thank you! I am trying to be very good about actually doing something with my time rather than just sitting in front of the computer for the next two months. We'll see how that goes. ^_^;

Also, I always love that icon; Jensen looking after his boy who can't be trusted to dress himself! :)

I am selfishly very happy your semester is now over ;-)

Glad you're finally getting your head up out of the water to breathe!

I am here for you, bb! Just say the word!

Thank you! I have decided that I am not even thinking about jobs for at least a month. I have a summer vacation to enjoy before job stress takes over. :)
