Last night I got a ton done on my national board stuff. I still have about 50 pages left to write and more random stuff to do (copy my ID, map out room layouts, demographic study, organize my artifacts, etc.), but that was a huge step for me. I feel like I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, even though it’s a very tiny light, very far away. GO TO THE LIGHT, STEPH! GO TO THE LIGHT!!!
The light includes: No more working every night and weekend on this. Blech. I can stop pack-ratting all of my students’ work and actually give it back to them. I’ll have time for volleyball. I’ll have time for friends. SO PUMPED to hang w/ Eddie when he comes out in April (we’re so hitting the WAVES!). I’ll get to concentrate my creative energies on converting our garage into an art studio. I will get to PAINT! WOO HOO! Oh, I’m like a moth to the light, come to me delicate, sweet goodness…

Whee, I totally know how you feel. I’ve basically been working every day since I came back from California: there’s been 4-5 hours of paper grading for each day of the weekend, and during most days of the week, that paper grading has come on top of my normal teaching hours, etc. which are packed because I was gone so long and needed to catch up.
Spring break for us is in two weeks, I’m going to go see Jess then, and I am definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Gah, I know I always say this, but I have to go surfing with you, that last Monday of this visit just didn’t feel right for it.
