800 Bubbles Later

Usually when I think of bubbles, one of two items come to mind:
A. The iridescent, lightly floating orbs that bring joy as they are blown in the summer
B. The kind derived from chewing gum

However, the past four days have been New Jersey's state mandated testing for seventh and eighth grade students. As an examiner, it was my responsibility to write and bubble in my assigned 8 digit code on every students' answer folder (25 are in my room) daily.

Tonight, I will go to bed with visions of pencil bubbles in my head. Somehow, I don't think they will provide the sweet dreams of the other bubbles that come to mind.
