The Final Run

As my teaching quarter comes to an end and my first quarter in the Doctoral program closes out, I've come down with a nasty cold. My final paper is due today and all my grading due tomorrow. For the past 36 hours I've been locked up inside my apartment, floating between my bed and couch, typing and napping while my nose runs.

I realized that yesterday I only spoke out loud twice but had numerous conversations - all by email. Calgon take me away! I am so ready for a three week holiday and being able to breath easily, literally.
