I know I am totally spoiled when I am so happy to be on vacation yet again after just a month ago having had a week off. π
But, I tell ya’ it still feels like it’s been ages and the past month has had me running on hyper-speed, it seems. So, I’m taking the vacation time and loving it!
However, I have a very long list of things to do over the break:
*send out surveys to begin the data collection phase of my PhD (to be done tomorrow)
*organize materials from my current 010 course
*revise and organize materials for a content course (similar to the one I taught in Japan, but needs updating and revision for my students now)
*go through existing materials and begin to organize for next semester’s 020 course – which I will also be co-coordinating for the next year…
*read about 12 books for my literature review
*plan my spring break trip (mixing business with pleasure)
*write Christmas cards and mail them
*send gifts online
*be a good ‘in-law’ for our visitor over the next two weeks
So, as I try to also ensure some R&R time, I’ve got plenty to keep me out of trouble and to not take being on vacay for granted. π
