The days are flying by!

I like to stay ahead in my classes just a little bit. With each class meeting once a week, that's usually manageable. I like doing it that way in case something comes up and I can't get to the next assignment immediately.

With Keith's birthday two weeks ago, we got to do some low-key but fun things. My mom came to visit, we had dinner with MO and PO, and Keith talked with his parents by phone. It was a good weekend, but not a lot of fanfare (just the way he likes it!).

It rained and rained and rained and rained overnight, so Keith didn't work the next day. My schedule pressed on, though. Normally, I visit schools two days a week, but there were some things going on that caused me to visit three days that week. I also had some part-time work on another day, so I was quite busy with classes, school visits, and work last week! Keith worked on Friday (since Monday was rained out), and I did some research for a paper. I told Keith that I needed to do something fun over the weekend and not think about education.

PO asked me to help him build bookshelves in his office, and that consumed all day Saturday (but it was definitely different from thinking about education!). Keith joined us to help all day Sunday, and we finished about a third of the project. It's required some geometry calculations, and they're turning out great so far! But, that consumed the weekend, and I was glad I'd already done my assignments for Monday and Tuesday night classes.

I visited schools and taught classes on Monday and Tuesday, and today is the first chance I've had to study since last Thursday. But, I'm blogging instead of reading for classes! :)

At the end of this week, I'll be halfway through this semester, and it's wearing me out. I've come home from class with a headache every day this week, but I'm hoping a little slower schedule over the next two weeks will help me get some energy to finish the semester.

There will be more bookshelf work this weekend, which I'm looking forward to.

Two more months for this semester!
