Well, here we are in finals week already. Though the semester seemed to be creeping along at a snail's pace at some points, now it seems like the whole thing flew by. I finished my grading today, but I have a few lose ends to tie up tomorrow. I also hope to spend more time over the next few days making plans for the spring semester. Although I'm teaching the same two classes in the spring, I've been working on a total redesign for one course, and I'll be working with a new textbook for the other. That all adds up to a lot of work to do before spring starts. But I'm really excited about the changes--I think they will be improvements!
Other than wrapping up school, I've been starting to celebrate the holidays. On Saturday, there was a ladies' breakfast at church, which was really nice. There were also English Department and Percussion Studio parties, and I started baking cookies for my Christmas tea and cookies open house later this week. It's been fun, but I'm also really looking forward to heading back to ABQ soon. It's going to be so great to see family and friends there. I think Mark and I are both ready for a little break, too.
