Things that Happened in May
- The last full week of school has been completed! Really, this is a party worthy event.
- We celebrated the Ascension, Pentecost, and Trinity Sunday. That is three great Sundays in a row.
- You can tell that summer is fast approaching. The sun beats me up at 5am and it is still bright when I try to fall asleep after 9pm. It is crazy to think that just a few months ago (like December) it was dark when I was walking to work at 7:30am and dark when I was walking home at 4:30pm.
- The school talent show was this past Tuesday. The teachers decided to do our own thing this year. We all got a variety of instruments and played Yellow Submarine. I will give you just one word for it: HILARIOUS!
Books I Read in May
- A Curse Dark As Gold by Elizabeth C Bunce: I did not finish this book. I found that I didn’t really care about the characters and I couldn’t get into the story. I really wanted to like this book but I just couldn’t. 🙁
Books I Reviewed in May
Things I’m Looking Forward to in June
- The final four days of the school year. I am pretty sure that I need the summer break a bit more than some of my students. Then again, maybe not.
- Next Sunday is Corpus Christi!
- Catholic summer camp starts the end of June! I am very excited to be a counselor this year!
- I am planning to start studying Polish a bit more to get ready for World Youth Day next summer. My main goal is to be able to communicate my food allergies so I don’t accidentally die in Poland.

You’re going to World Youth Day? SO AWESOME. I would like to go, but we shall see.
So many of those books are either on my favorites list or my TBR. I’m so glad you liked Ruin and Rising because I love that series!
Kudos to you on all the challenges. I’ve given up on attempting those because I am SUCH a mood reader and always fail them. 😛

I am SUPER EXCITED about World Youth Day. It is going to be utterly awesome. I have been waiting years to finally decide to go.
As for the challenges, I’m not specifically reading for the challenges but just seeing where whatever I want to read fits.
Thanks for visiting!
Congrats on finishing school!
Hollow City is on my must-read list! A couple more of those I’d like to read too! You had a fantastic month for books! Happy June reading!

This last week is always the worst with all of the students wanting it to just be summer already. I love it though. I also signed my contract for next year which is exciting. I’ll have some of the crazies another year. 🙂
I hope you have a great June!
