Finally. The much needed break to off set the madness that the middle of the fall semester always brings. This past week it's been cold, it's been raining, the undergrads have been coughing/sneezing/sleeping in class and I've not felt like going for even one class. Infact I have not even felt like getting out of bed. I'm glad this is going to be a long weekend. I'm also glad all the undergrads have left town - guess I've been here long enough to feel happy about that? Four days of being able to have a leisurely breakfast instead of rushing out at 8am. Of being able to read and write about my research instead of setting prelims/assignments or reading about qualitative research methods (very mixed feelings there). Four days of yoga, walks, maybe a movie and more walks. Yesterday I was singing along to pandora while cooking dinner and I realized just how long it has been! Both, since I cooked and even longer since I have sung! Small break but lots of happiness.
