I'm at the school right now and have been every day since school let out, except for travel days related to coaching (State Track meet was Friday and Saturday). Inventory, cleaning, prepping for next yr, etc. I have a physics lab, chem lab, biology lab, and dissection lab to keep organized and stocked. Lots goes into doing that right. I also spend time each summer putting together new labs and experiments so that I'm prepared to add them next yr. (Got to add that I've spent way to much time near the computer today! Need to turn the damn thing off so that I don't run over every time I hear an update notification. But then I wouldn't be able to jam to the radio, it's like a party with no kids in the classroom!)
I start taking classes tomorrow for license renewal (have to earn 4hours of college credit this summer). I also have to take a course and a $150 Exam to get a "Remote Pilots License" so that I can teach programming with a drone next yr.
What part of summer that doesn't get eaten up with that stuff will be spent with athletes at camps or individual training.
Your teacher relation are probably like most people and have a little negative streak in them. I know plenty of people with lots of money who want more, people lots of time who want more, a loving wife but want the mistress next door, great hunting land but travel for a hunt, etc. In my humble opinion, I think many people don't understand how good they have it and instead of talking about the positives they bring up the negatives. Probably part of our culture to focus on negatives or drama instead of personal accomplishments and positives.
5 twelves and 2 eights is a lot of work! Doesn't give a guy much time to do habitat work but you plan it out for hunting season well. How is your polebarn build/plan going? I'm clearing a spot and about ready to pull the trigger on one...
