Too tired last night to post yesterday's PAD so here it is, Friday morning, posting for Thursday. As you can see by the imagination here...I crammed for the PAD before hitting the sheets!
Last semester I taught on a Monday - so when Friday hit, I had to start prepping for class. This semester I teach on a Thursday night, so when Friday hits, I play! For the first time in a long while, Friday feels like Friday. I'm also looking forward to summer as I am not teaching any summer courses, so for the first time in a very long while, summer will feel like...summer. When I got out of law school, and started working a real, full-time job (my first ever), I was really horrified at the blur life seemed to become. All the days blended into the other, I always had piles of work on my desk, Friday was like a Monday which was like a Tuesday which was like a Saturday, blah, blah. And summer! There was no summer. Oh, other than the measly five days I took off which would have been ten days off, but I liked to take some time off during Christmas.
Then, after all was said and done, I ended up at home with the kids. Talk about blur! Really, all the days rushed into the other just the same.
So these days, with my more structured layers of responsibility, Friday is back to feeling like a jump into a California swimming pool in the middle of a summer heat wave. Whooo!
