So I've been on Spring Break this week, but it was no vacation. Being a teacher and a student means that work isn't done until the summertime, and I expected it.
Work: I graded many essays, all late work, and exams. I also sent off a set of essays to a scholarship competition so that some of my students can win money for college.
Grad school: Yeah, I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted. I did read several chapters of an assigned book and I started my 15 page research paper. Well, I didn't start writing it, but I've been gathering sources. I wanted to have it done by tomorrow so that I don't have to worry about it, but it's not due for over a month, so I have time. I'm going to continue focusing on research gathering for another week and then work on the paper for a week. If I can get the paper done in three weeks, I'll be in a good spot and can then spend the following 3 weeks focusing on the 20-page paper for my other class.
Other stuff: I knocked the crap out of my head a few days ago and got a mild concussion. I had a CAT scan yesterday because I've been dizzy for a couple of days and then yesterday I was very nauseous - two signs that concerned my doctor. But the CAT scan showed no brain bleeding and I was told the dizziness would go away. It hasn't gone away yet. But whatever. I started cutting the script for "Midsummer," and I've been designing the set and costumes, which is fun and exciting - I can't wait until auditions! Other than that, I've been watching a lot of TV, went to the Rodeo a bit and played endless games of internet scrabble. I would've liked to take a trip, but I'm going to Vermont and DC in July, so I'll just hang tightly until then.
Summer will be extremely busy, but I'll fill y'all in on that later.
Cheers!
