I am super-relieved. Graduation planning and the ceremony are over, teaching and lesson planning are over, and all I have left to do are my grades, which should be easy to complete tomorrow. Today, upon coming home, I read a magazine, called a couple of friends and my family, made some tea, and read outside in the sun. Ah, bliss at last! Upon returning from my bookclub tonight (we’re reading The Handmaid’s Tale), I plan to veg out to our new disc of Alias (Season II). I still have 7 days of “work,” but most of them are self-directed workshops or workdays, and I don’t have to be there at 7:15 a.m., but rather at a more sane time like 9. Plus I get hour-long lunches, paid parking, and a continental breakfast. The good life has begun, though I will miss my students. No, really!
