First time blogger here, with a fun little entry:
Making a website is no joke! It’s so much more work than I expected. But honestly? I loved it. I’ve been able to shape it exactly how I want — aesthetic, intention, and just very me. It’s still a work in progress, but that’s okay. I’ll let future me handle the fine-tuning. I also have a little countdown in my head for when I want to officially “launch this blog” (start date: March 22nd). But I couldn’t wait! So here we are. Consider this an early arrival. Woo!
I work at a university, and with that comes a mountain of grading, endless essays, and the emotional labor of dealing with students(That is another topic to talk about next time). This quarter hasn’t been the hardest, but the last one definitely did a number on me — between stacks of papers and grad school applications, I felt stretched thin. If I’m being honest, I still do.
Lately, I’ve felt like I’ve been moving in slow motion — not stuck exactly, just tired…basically emotionally exhausted. But next quarter, I’ll have TWO full months off! And I’m holding onto that time like a lifeline, which is inherently why I created this blog in the first place. I need to do something to keep myself busy. I need something that feels like mine. Something to pour into that isn’t a rubric or a deadline. Something that makes me sane again.
This soon-to-be break feels less like a break and more like a chance to breathe again…maybe even a chance to begin!
Anyway….back to the title of this entry: I am currently doing everything except grading. Avoidance? Maybe. Procrastination? Absolutely. In my defense, I’m staring down 86 papers, 90 assignments, and 270 quizzes. If anyone hears faint screaming in the distance, it’s probably me. SEND HELP!
I’m counting down the days at this point.
24 days left in the quarter.
Let the countdown begin! Wish me goodluck!
