It’s the
middle of July. It’s hot, unbearably so. But of more concern is the fact that
the summer is more than half over, and it doesn’t feel like it should be. It’s
yet another one of the weird time compression things that are all too common to
teachers. Parts of the semester crawl by, others fly. The same things happen
during off times. Sometimes the time is sufficient, and goes by at a leisurely
pace. Other times it feels like we don’t have a chance to even catch our
breaths.
I guess the
only thing to do is make the most of the time that’s left. It’s time to start
crossing projects off my list. I’ve been working on a lot of them
simultaneously, so I haven’t been idle. Maybe completing a few will make the
time better spent.
