This month was the end of the Spring Session at College Lasalle. MY work did not stop there then there is the process of correcting all the projects and final exams… (it was quite a task – but all got done in time)
The ‘wonderfulness’ of all this as a teacher is when you spontaneously receive a appreciation note written by one of your students .. WOWZERS – I cannot express to you how it helps me move forward, not that I don’t enjoy it but a written note from a student is AWESOMENESS to the MAX…
Once all was entered and submitted, we headed off to Florida. You see originally, I was supposed to go alone for a week with a mission to ‘finalize’ the purging and cleaning of all things in the condo. This is due to my parents decided to sell it after owning it over a decade… (for me it was kind of bittersweet moment)
As stated, I was to go alone, however, my wonderful hubby ended up coming along which was really great cause we can accomplish TONS in a shorter amount of time… once all the packing and purging was accomplished (basically in a few days)… we turned it into a vacation and enjoyed it for one last time… was great and I soooooo needed the break. Truth be told I was saddened by the thought of them selling it, but it is what it is, it was spot. Being a few decades younger we would have bought it but at this point in our lives we decided to over come our temptation and just enjoy it one last time…. The plan is to travel more, with no commitments, and owning anything is a commitment.
When these intervals happen between sessions, I do my best to grab the time to take vacation if possible and if I don’t have any client programs/events going on at the same time.
Moving forward, after the two weeks break, we came back, went straight into the day-to-day work mode. Attended an industry info session, started the Summer Session at the college. And Tony helped his brother with the landscaping work. We also, squeezed in a few milestone birthday celebrations including friends and family.
Going back on the session during the summer, it is extremely quiet (very weird for me). I usually go average of two or three days a week. This summer it’s, every day. What an adjustment it was and there is a TON of changes coming this Fall … meaning building construction, rebuilding, renovating at the school and an INFLUX of students this coming September, which is good for everyone. This is progress/evolution… stay tuned.
That’s basically my month. June will be another exciting/action packed month. Can’t wait to share.
