Or not really.

I. Am. Still. Doing. My. Summer. Work. School starts in a week and a half.  The only thing motivating to get my work done now is the fact that husband and I are taking a little vacation at the end of the week before the madness starts on Monday.  School doesn’t officially start until Wednesday the 2nd which is ridiculous because its not a full week and its RIGHT before labor day.  Why not wait until after Labor Day?

I’m so totally unready for the new school year.  I think its because its my second year and I am not as worried as I was last year.  I have no orientations to attend.  But being in denial is not so good sometimes.  I know I will have to prepare a syllabus in a week and a half. I will also have to start reading in a week.  I’ve been reading in a very hurried, hyper focused way all summer but without the benefit of class discussions to supplement my understanding.  I am looking forward to some class discussion but sometimes it can seem trivial like I’ve been through it already so why must we repeat ourselves?

My schedule is very full.  In addition to taking three classes, TA’ing and leading sections, I am sitting in on another undergrad class because it is a good idea. It really is.

Here we go…
