I really shouldn't be upset about being busy - sitting around not doing much more than sleep and watch tv is only entertaining for a little while before I twiddle my thumbs and make myself read. (Which in some cases is also boring).
I have a lot to think about and complete this week. Surgery on Friday for the dreaded bunion. Four days of crazy busy grading papers/lesson planning/meetings/class before spring break. And, to top it off, I need to write my unit plan for the scholar program I'm in...fill out/complete an essay question for a summer writing project (which would mean 4 days a week, commuting to Daytona, and 2 of those 4 coming back to teach a night class).
YES. I have officially been assigned a course, starting June 6! It's for 12 weeks, which is a small answer to my unpaid summer blues. With all of the other stuff I've had to do (and is due before this class starts), all I've wanted to do is get started on doing what professors do before a class, yet I really have NO idea what that entails!
I haven't celebrated St. Patrick's day in a long time - in fact, the last real party I went to was when I was still living in Michigan and was able to hang out with some girlfriends that I'll see in less than a month! I enjoyed the evening at a local brewery playing flip cup. So what - we lost in the first round - it was entertaining and I loved watching the other team strategies/drinking games on the side, and just plain entertainment!
Looks like this week will be crazy busy, but it's just the crazy before the even crazier! Here's to finishing out the marking period, getting to all of the meetings/appointments, having a successful bunionectomy, and NOT falling off the crutches when taking dogface out to do his business.
All the Good Things: So excited for my parents and their moving to their new house and entering retirement. It's refreshing knowing they've sold their house and can move on without the stress of leaving a house behind. I'm also thankful for my health, health insurance, friends, new adventures (hello, Caribbean cruise!), and making the most out of the days I have.
