A busy, busy summer . . and happy fall semester!

Although I'm used to working everyday, this summer has been especially crazy in terms of teaching:
  • Directed Self-placement Advising through May and June
  • Three weeks in late June revising my online Monsters module
  • actually teaching that online Monsters module in July and August
  • GAT Orientation and Preceptorship in August
  • plus various professional development workshops.
Plus, there was all my other writing/research activities . . . finishing up on long essay in May, writing two encyclopedia entries in June, and thus spending July and August writing and research my research proposal for Specters of Tolkien: History, Totality, and Thymos at the Beginning of Epic Fantasy. (This last one is still ongoing.)

Now, though, I've just submitted final grades for my Monsters class . . . on the first day of Fall semester. Thus, I'm about to embark on a luxurious 4-hour summer vacation before going back to the grind.

Wouldn't trade academia for the world, though.
