A quick break from grading

I've got two BIG things due in about two weeks, and another in one week.

What was I thinking? Why do I say yes?

On the other hand. I've been accepted to teach overseas for a semester next year. Now I have to learn another language!

I've been practicing my one usable foreign language a lot lately, chatting with my friend's mother-in-law, and today I actually realized that my ease is picking up again.

Sometimes life levels out. But this semester feels like I'm on a very uphill learning curve. Everything's a challenge, new classes, new committee tasks, social stuff.

Back to grading.
