In honor of veteran's day, we had no classes today. Usually, I teach on Wednesdays from 9-11, so this gave me a break from preparing for class and teaching, which is nice; but, I still have a ton of work to do. I did sleep a little later than usual, and I worked in my pjs all morning, but I do still wish I could have really taken the day off. I don't know what I'd do with a whole day off; probably watch movies all day. I don't mean to sound shallow here--I know today is about honoring those who serve and protect our country, so I do also recognize their service and feel very thankful for it. Practically, though, for me, today's holiday means I get to work from home instead of spending the day working at school. I have already realized that, as usual, there are more things on my to do list than I can possibly get done. My primary goal is to write the first draft of one of my final papers, which would be a huge help to me (giving me the chance to focus on the other two!). Here's hoping I can pull it off. I've been taking detailed notes as I've done all the reading, so that should make the first draft quicker and easier to put together.
I should also mention that Mark is off at PASIC now--he left town yesterday, and today is the first day of the convention. He always has a great time (and wears himself out!) at this event, so I hope this year is no different. He worked really hard last weekend on his audition recordings, so he has the majority of that done, and just a couple more things to record when he gets home next week. Mark being at PASIC again has reminded me of Pop-Pop, who was always really supportive of Mark's going. I know he would be glad to know that Mark is there again this year.
