December 27 Day 1024: I promise I’m trying

One week until the start of classes for Winter 2023. I get up in the morning and think “this is the day I will accomplish what I need to be ready to teach.” By the evening I feel further behind than when I started.

I know I got things accomplished but I want time with my family to just be me. To laugh. To play. To binge watch silly series. Anything to make lasting memories and not feel like I am shirking my responsibilities to my future students.

I promise I’m trying.

How are you?
