Did you hear that huge gust of wind that just went by? It’s not a tornado brewing, it me heaving a sigh of relief as the end of the semester passes me by. This is the time where I work on summer projects at work like overhauling curriculum, planning for the coming year, going to training, and creating online tutorials for library research stuff. Sure, I’m busy, but it’s nothing like the school year.
This semester has been especially bad, with two conference presentations to prep for (and research), and a boatload of extra research skills classes to teach my freshman, it as just a killer. So all of you moms who are dreading getting your kids back full-time, you can rest assured there are a few of us who are eternally grateful that they’re with you right now and not with us.
Don’t get me wrong, I love teaching, and I love my students, but it’s nice to have a break every now and then. Especially now. I can shift my brain into low gear at work and focus more energy on my writing when I get home at night. It’s wonderful. :)
Happy summer vacation all!
I hear ya cuz, I might not be teaching but it still has been a tough year. I hope you enjoy your break, I know I will. Just thought I’d say hi…bye!
