The last few weeks have been incredibly busy, but they have been equally rewarding. Below are some bullet points with highlights:
- Of the 175 new students, I have met with all but 45 in the last few weeks and most of the 45 have scheduled appointments with me. I think this new session is working - yes, it is required, but they get to choose the time and it is only 15 minutes. I hope the 30 minute session goes equally well!
- I am reviewing and submitting the revisions and proofs for my upcoming article. It should be out around September 15th or so. I have some people, who were instrumental in making it happy or who keep up with my research, and I will share copies with them. If you want one, let me know.
- The next giant deadline is September 16th. Between now and then, I will be busy but also finding fun in playing cello, trying new things, and finishing up projects.
- Fall is here and I am so excited! It is by far my favorite season, which is followed by winter, and then Spring. Summer is not so much fun, because it is so hot! I am thrilled to live in a four season part of the world.
- I took an extended Labor Day Holiday and started adjusting my schedule, again, two weeks ago. I think this last schedule will work, even if it involves scrambling a bit more on early meeting days.
Labor Day was amazing - good food, great company, and fantastic conversations. Yes, the driving was a bit more than I usually do, but it was totally worth it. I returned refreshed and ready to tackle things.
Meanwhile, I worked on my flower bed on Saturday and I made great progress. I also discovered that tree roots are problematic but I am taking it in stride. Tonight, using my running headlamp, in finished all but the last 2-2.5 feet and became mosquito fodder in the process. I have so many bites that I will be wearing sleeves and sweaters in hopes of escaping notice by the students, faculty, and staff I will see tomorrow. Once the planter is done, I will post pictures to instagram (@runningwithallergies).
Besides that, I am looking forward to a trio concert this weekend and I am excited to get back into regular posting. I am either running or run/walking a 5k this weekend. It benefits a student group and, three years ago, it is the first race I completed, after moving to the area and starting my current job. Oh how time does fly!
Happy Tuesday, All!
