What I've Been Doing with Myself
Since I gave my last final Thursday morning.
It went well, I was done with the grading by 12:30, and I took the rest of the day off. What a lovely change from the frantic pace of the last 18 weeks or so. I had a surprise lunch with an old friend and (now) a new friend.
On Friday, I did this:
(Photo by my friend Danger, who took me to Orphan Acres, the horse rescue organization where I worked on the lovely Tango.)
Saturday, I worked in the yard. Weeded almost the entire back yard. And then I went to a friend's graduation barbeque, which was lovely. It was just him, his parents, another couple and her parents, another faculty member and David and me. Very low key, but lots of fun. Great people, all of them.
Sunday I cleaned (parts of) the house and weeded the rest of the backyard. I also planted some poppies. Hopefully they'll take. It may have been entirely the wrong time of year.
Today, I've been creating a syllabus for one of my many new preps for next semester. We have a faculty meeting tomorrow, and I'd love to have it mostly done, though I'm not sure that's actually possible. The last one took me three full days to build. Hopefully, though, I'll have a skeleton done. And I'd like to have some of the evening to myself, if I can manage it.
Once the syllabi are under control I'll post more. About synchronicity and what it's like to be married to a 40 year-old.
