Don't get me wrong--I am absolutely thrilled to have the job teaching. But I've felt behind and stressed since day one, and I'm thankful to have this long weekend to recuperate and hopefully work ahead. I guess it might just be my personality, but I feel uncomfortable if I don't have some idea of what I'll be doing a little down the road; so flying by the seat of my pants is not working for me. (Well, maybe it's not that bad, but I do feel like each day so far has been pretty hectic.) In any case, I think as I go along, it'll get better. And, I do have great students and helpful colleagues, so it's going to be a great semester.
Besides trying to get some rest and get some work done, Mark and I had plans to do some shopping. He got paid yesterday (hooray!) and he's been needing some new clothes. We drove down to the mall in Findlay and got some things there, including a mini-fridge for his office. (That should make sack lunches more appealing). We're also planning to visit some used car lots and start shopping for our next car. Since we sold the Mustang, we'd like to buy something bigger that Mark can use for transporting his equipment.
In other news, we finally had some work done in the apartment that we'd been waiting for. They repaired the siding by our back door. In the bathroom, we got a curved shower rod, so our shower is now extra roomy instead of extra narrow. And, we got a brand new toilet. The bathroom's really taken a step up!
