To say that I’m still here and survived my written exams.  It’s been a whirlwind, to say the least, taking 5 exams and preparing for the first week of classes.  But the exams are done and the first week is over.  My students haven’t thrown any rotten tomatoes at me (yet) and they haven’t changed the locks on my office door so apparently they’re not throwing me out yet.

Thursday afternoon I sent in the last written exam and that night, exhausted, I skipped my workout, actually cooked dinner (for real! with real ingredients!  that didn’t come out of a box!), watched a movie, and fell asleep on the couch.  Aaaaahhhhhhh.  Heaven.  Then the temperature tanked and as I sit here writing this, it’s 51 degrees out.  That’s my kind of weather.   This morning I ran 3 miles AND spent an hour on the tennis court, hitting against the machine.  I feel like a whole new woman!

Orals are Thursday.  Hopefully after that I’ll get to return to my regularly crazy schedule, instead of this extremely crazy schedule.

Hope everyone is well!
