"Catch Me I'm Falling..."
One of my major goals this semester is to take care of myself. There are many ways to do that, and they all work together. It means getting to bed by midnight every night and setting the alarm for eight. Then, it means getting to the gym about four days a week. And getting to campus for the start of classes at 12:30 MWF and meetings at noon on some TR. It also means getting my lesson plans done the night before class so I'm not doing them the day of.

So far, so good, though I'm right on the edge of falling off. It's after ten and I've finished two lesson plans for tomorrow, for the first two classes. I still have to do the one for my night class, but I have three hours between classes. I'm getting a little annoyed that it's taking me late into the night to get things done, but I'm also doing them with the TV on in the background, so it's not like intense focus. Actually, I remember last year, working with the TV off, and still spending so much time preparing but getting more stressed because I had no distraction.

I'm assuming it's like this because we're starting the semester. Looking ahead, there are some days of timed writing and peer review and guest lecturers. That will be good.

Now, when are those days starting again?
