I do want to spend a little time talking about time though.
I started teaching a new class at the beginning of the month and now I suddenly find myself preparing for the final examination this Friday. These short courses offer a variety which I've really come to appreciate. Whereas my initial reaction to teaching on a contract basis was a disappointment, now I cannot image living life any other way. The flexibility in hours and schedule is a dream come true.
Very soon, I'll be off for a month. Shame on me; after so recently getting back from a two-month overseas vacation, I'm excitedly thinking about how to spend some quality time off. Wait! I deserve every minute of it, don't I? At minimum a few, short road trips will prove possible, right?
