Last Day of School

HOORAY! It finally arrived! My teens finally completed their last day of school! Summer has arrived and they could not be happier!! :)

Pizza Party

My daughter's class had a Pizza Party when they finished their final exams. They had fun and listened to music--it was nice to just "chill out" after all of that stress. My son didn't have a party at school, but he was so glad to get out early and to be finished that he didn't care. Instead of being jealous of his sister's party, he was glad that he was able to come home early instead of having to stay at school the entire day!

Last Exam

My teens were so glad to finish those last final exams! My son was able to leave early--around 10 am--after his last exam. They are SO glad that those exams are behind them now!! :)

Last Bus Ride

Since their schedules were a bit different during the last week of school, my teens didn't ride the bus every day. Eventually, they had their last bus rides to their schools--and possibly the last time they will ever have to ride those buses to those schools ever again. There is also a big boundary change around here--if we stay, they may have to change schools and bus routes anyway. They say that they won't miss riding the buses here--not such a great experience. Maybe next year my son will get his license and not have to ride any bus ever again once he can drive to school!

Last Lunch

My teens began counting down all of the "lasts" this week. While we HOPE our move to Florida works out this summer and they won't be going back to their schools here, we still aren't absolutely sure about that. In their minds, they were finishing the year at schools they don't plan to return to in the fall. They both seemed quite happy about that--not much sadness at all. Several things have happened this year to make them dislike living here even more than they did before--and they are now, more than ever, BEGGING us to get moved this summer so that they don't have to return. We are trying very hard--we really are! Anyway--my son had his last lunch at the high school--he had half days after that for the rest of his exams. He says he won't miss the food--it was not very good! He is convinced that EVERYTHING is made with soy--no real meat in anytthing served there. Not sure if it is true, but he is glad to say goodbye to the lunchroom food!

Test Anxiety

Both of my teens had to take final exams during the last week of school. They did not enjoy doing this at all. My son felt that his exams were easier than he expected. My daughter thought hers were harder. They were so glad to get these final exams behind them--it was a stressful week!

Last Week of School

My teens began the last week of school with a not-so-great attitude. This is the first year that they've had to go to school after Memorial Day--at least the first since living here. They both had final exams--my son had some half days on exam days. My daughter had a party on her last day. They were SO glad to get this behind them! Their last week of school was tough, but they both survived.
