No More Drama

After one of the loveliest summers in recent memory, I'm struggling to come to terms with my autumn workload. Just as one problem is seemingly resolved, another crops up out of the blue. Fortunately, one of my academic positions has been made much easier by the construction of a new building (no more traipsing around in the snow to locate my students!), and once the juggling act of finalizing my schedule is over, I should be in for a relatively smooth semester.

In the past, I've always pushed myself to the limit as far as teaching goes, which for years has taken a toll on my personal life as well as my practice time. No more! If it's a holiday, I'm not working. Same goes for weekends. Well, Saturdays at least. As Mary J. says, you know what you want when you feel that you want it.
