The last week of school was crazy busy. We had to return to school on Mon, Jun 9th for finals, then had a teacher workday on Tue, Jun 10. I had to get everything graded and all of the "end-of-year" stuff done, as well as pack up my room for moving to a different room. Although the packing up was a good thing, it was still packing up and all that involves. Although I got a lot done, I had to go back on Wed to try to finish up. I didn't get quite done, but mostly. On top of that, I was super sick and trying not to push myself too hard so I didn't get sicker.
My lovely daughter and her boyfriend came out on Thursday, Jun 12 for five days. We had an awesome time. We went to Lake Tahoe, Big Trees State Park, Mercer Caverns and Virgina City. We hung out and played games and had fun. My husband and I wondered when did she grow up so much. She has turned this wonderful young woman that I am proud to call daughter.
I went back to school after they left and finished everything except the stuff that needs to be locked up. The custodians moved my stuff to my new room and my husband and I went to in to measure for new furniture. I will be glad when the second part of the moving process - unpacking - is all done and I can claim the new room as home.
I have also been busy with my new masters program. So far, the assignments haven't been too terribly hard. Getting back into writing papers in APA format has been the hardest. This morning I started a journal search, and remembered what fun that is - sorting through hundreds of abstracts to find the one that will fit the assignment... I am just trying to pace myself and not get too controlling over it. I have not given into the constant checking or the obsessing over the assignments that I did when I got my last masters. I have asked my husband to keep me in check on that because I tend to be overly perfectionistic and it hurts my family time.
Other than that, I am ready to just enjoy my summer and do some much needed relaxing.
