Hanging on by a thread

To my sanity, that is. Sorry about the lack of posting. 🙂 Here’s some numbers to help explain why:

• 8 days until my close friends arrive in China
• 3 teammate birthdays to celebrate in the next 10 days
• 4 Christmas parties
• 64 five paragraph essays to grade
• 52 written exams to give and grade
• 75 very dense pages of grad work left to read
• 5 grad papers to write
• 5 essay questions to write for my commitment interview
• Cupcakes, cookies, muffins, and various other things to bake
• 6 birthday/Christmas gifts left to shop for
• 20 need-to-be answered emails in my inbox

Time to go put another pot of coffee on…
