I started summer a few days early

So I made the mistake of taking a trip over the Mermorial Day weekend. The trip itself was great. I flew with Amy out to her parent's place in Montana. They had a huge luau party, complete with two pit roasted pigs. It was a great weekend. The probelme is that I mentally started my summer vacation. This was a problem because upon my return I had to give and grade finals, which I finished, do the end of the year senior stuff like field day and graduation, which I finished yesterday with graduation, and write 64 personlized comments to go with my students grades. Those are due Monday and I'm barely 1/2 done with them. In most years I finish well in advance because I 'm still in work mode, which means I put in hours each day getting work stuff taken care of. This year, I'm already in vacation more, so the work is getting done in little bits and pieces. Next week I have 3 full days of faculty meetings, which are always lame. Add to that the fact that I've already mentally checked out, and I'm just hoping it's not disastrous for me. My plan is to mostly keep my mouth shut, despite having plenty to say. Since it's mostly negative stuff that I feel needs to quickly and drastically change for the health of the school being quite may not be the best option, but considering my state of mind, I figure it's the best.
