I'm whittling the pile of papers down to a much more managable stack. Setting quotas for a specific time frame helps a lot. I look forward to spending a little more time with my son before I go. And then spending a lot of time with my husband!! And stepson, too!
As usual, I constantly review my successes and failures of the semester immediately past. I made a lot of mistakes this semester, but I received several very uplifting compliments from students, ones I wasn't expecting, which really is great. Makes me realize I didn't do EVERYthing wrong. More importantly, though, I need to figure out good solutions to the problems that I encountered this semester, enact them next time I teach, and keep doing the stuff that works.
