So, I set procedures ahead for CWP summer programs and now await the registration to open. I don't think we'll have a teacher institute this summer, but instead I will return to teaching EDUC 5411 in the Fall for students who need the writing course. We're set for 2025, the 12th year of Young Adult Literacy Labs, and I also filled out a survey for a story to be released by the Office of Research and Grants later this year (their writer is departing the University, and it's one of the last goals she wanted to accomplish before her departure.
I was thankful the temperatures went above freezing, as it was easier to take Karal on a longer walk without hurting deep in the bones. It was also inviting to get a pizza and run it to Pam's for a Friday night gathering to end the frantic work week. I'm going to try hard not to have 14-hour days every day this spring, although that's hard given the job I have to do. I need more mental time off than I've had in the past. I feel the aging and exhaustion more now than ever.
Also, thankful to Abu Bility for giving me the iconic frog photo, a gift that keeps on giving. We've also been working on Kids-Day-Out in collaboration with the Women's Basketball program later this month. Our Stag-azine is almost done.
Here's to sleeping in and having the weekend free.
