Break Really Begins Now

May 18th, 2012 at 04:03 pm

Yesterday I pushed the button and graded the final students of the semester. Then I had a long meeting with the Study Abroad folks who went over the recruiting I need to do, the budget in place, and various other things like visa, forms, establishing a website. It looks like that will be an ongoing job until we actually begin.

I need to have at least six students sign up, and the cost gets cheaper for them with every additional student after that. I hoping the London Olympics gets people even more interested in the UK.

But this morning after DD went off to school, I went back to bed with a cup of coffee and a new volume of short stories. I read a terrific story, and then slept for over an hour. I think that's a suitable kickoff to summer break.

Now to clean and tackle the million things that didn't get done over the semester's chaos.
I feel energized!

    I would have given quite a bit for an extra hour of sleep and a good short story this morning, I will tell you that much! Wink Sounds delightful, and if it leads to feeling that energized, maybe I should try it. Too bad I have no insurance of a summer break this year... my final academic year lasts 17 months (!!!) from start to graduation. It's like water torture.

    Oh, the first morning of vacation. You have captured it perfectly!
