The Final Countdown

Here it is! The final countdown. Only 6 more days left! Each day I find myself looking at the clock more and more, counting the hours until the day is over, waiting, anticipating, until that final day when the bell will ring, the little urchins will stream out of the building and onto the hulking, deisel-belching busses, and school will finally be over. Summer vacation will be trumpeted in by the heralding cry of teachers all over the district shouting in unision "Yes! Thank ya, Lord!" I will be there to revel in the beauty of that day. Oh yes, I will be there. Only 6 days left until freedom. Glorious freedom.
