Tomorrow is the first day of the semester, and today is the day that everyone asks, "How did the summer go by so quickly?!" I think we had a pretty good summer over all, and I accomplished many things from my list, but I'm still surprised by the things I didn't do. (For example, I still haven't perfected a homemade sandwich bread recipe or made soft pretzels, or bagels...hmm...that's an interesting list!)
One of my goals this year, though, is to find ways to be more efficient during my work day and draw clearer boundaries between work and the rest of my life, so I can still find time to do some of those things I tend to push off as "summer things" when I'm feeling too busy to tackle them during the year. On the other hand, I'm teaching an overload this semester (5 classes instead of 4), so we'll see how that goes. :-)
The past two weeks have been busy. Mark's been studying for his upcoming exams, I had four (long) days of placement testing, and we've been out looking at used cars. Next week, of course, will be even more intense. But, I'm certainly still thrilled to be going back to work at a job I enjoy with great colleagues and students, so no complaints here. Now I'm going to enjoy my last hours of summer R&R!
