Long Day

A long 11 hour day which included starting with teaching a class, followed by lots of appts., followed by rearranging office furniture, followed by giving an evening presentation. Enough said.

Exhaustion

I was so exhausted after this week that I fell asleep before 8 pm while watching the season premiere of the show, Friday Night Lights. I had waited over a year to see this and couldn't believe I fell asleep!

At work today, a student that we nominated, won the Outstanding Undergrad Student Award during the annual Awards Ceremony Luncheon. It was fun to be a part of his special day!

Spring is in the Air

My "pic of the day" is a reminder that spring is in the air.

A busy morning of appointments gave way to a quieter afternoon, although I did have a 4 p.m. appointment scheduled which prevented me from coming home early. My work email inbox went over the 200 mark late yesterday so I'm thankful that spring break is next week so I'll have some quiet time at work to get caught up.

I struggled with not feeling well all day (achy, sore throat, cough and sinus congestion) so I came home and tried to rest and we watched the Blind Side. I tried so hard to stay awake through the whole thing, but fell asleep at the very end from pure exhaustion - and then remembered I had to blog.

Exhaustive Day

My "pic of the day" is of a whimsical pattern that I found during our Sunday walk. It represents the flurry of activity that I've experienced the past several days which has lead to a feeling of exhaustion.

I had a long day yesterday, worked 8-6 and then went back in for a student mtg. from 8:30 pm - 10:30 pm. so about 11.5 hrs total, and today I was back in at 8:30 am and worked about 9.5 hours. During that time I had 12 student appointments, and they all seemed to have complications. At 4:20pm, as I waited for my 4:30 pm student, I had another student arrive thinking her appt. was today at 4:30 as well. It turns out the appt. was yesterday, but I went ahead and saw her so I couldn't get to my 4:30 until after 5 p.m.

The day seems like a blur, and I'm still struggling with a sinus and sore throat deal. I'm tired and ready for Friday.
