may was a blur of long weekends, my brother coming to visit (he adopted a puppy here!), teaching, marking and all the little dramas that occur in ppl's lives when you've hung around them for long enough.

i've been horrible about keeping up w/ e-mails (i swear i'll respond eventually--definitely when i've finished grading the everests of tests i've accumulated this week), but hopefully i'll be able to catch up w/ you all when i head back for summer break at the end of this month. i have a feeling i'll be pretty busy even back in canada, what w/ my brother's wedding, attempting to prepare for new zealand and/or australia in 2007-2008, and hopefully working on improving my curriculum for next year (i'm teaching AP calculus, and i'm scared shitless). regardless, we need to catch up.

also in my summer plans:
i want to do a roadtrip to chicago for either the pitchforkmedia music fest at the end of july or lollapalooza at the start of august (or maybe even both?)...is anybody up for it??? travelling to a cool city, listening to awesome music, and having me as company -- how can you refuse? ;)
