I was able to update the blog for the first time in days today. Whatever small glitch my system has seems to repeat itself once in a while, leaving me unable to post to the blog itself. I am instead left to write in my Evernote with hopes of updating to the blog proper as soon as possible. The return of function is the perfect coda to my short, sweet vacation. I spent a week hanging out alone and playing minecraft, all in an attempt to clear my head and ready myself for what lies ahead in the next few weeks. I need to do a great deal of planning for classes and more than a little paperwork to see myself ready for the summer. The kids will be here with me some of that time, so I must learn how to make do with the few short hours I have without them.
I still have my summer goals. I still have my desires for vacation. The refund situation remains unresolved. I hope to use that small bit of currency along with the book money to fund summer trips. The first such outing is the 20 yr reunion in NYC. I’m excited about that one. I hope to be able to connect with old friends.
The lion’s share of my workload is comprised of three online classes that are each stumbling towards capacity. It is no great secret that my online classes stank. I use the past tense, because I expect things to be different this summer. I am dedicating myself to making the experience extremely interactive and worthwhile.
