Summer Has Arrived - I think
Just a quick post to say that I'm finally done with my academic year responsibilities! With the summer ahead of me, I feel overwhelmed at the notion of "free time" and also like I don't actually have free time. Maybe to start things off, I'll document the "wish list" of things I want to do or accomplish this summer.
In no particular order:
pensiveIn no particular order:
- Reorganize my teaching files so that I don't have such a digital mess come Fall. I've set aside 1 day each week to work on this task.
- Prep my new course for the Fall. I will do this on the same day I'm supposed to be organizing.
- Declutter the house. Kind of a vague task, but mainly I want to go through my closet and maybe even those boxes of sentimental things to see whether I really need to keep things. I probably should reevaluate the daily clutter too and see whether I can get rid of things we don't use. I just feel this need to streamline or simplify.
- Enjoy my kids. I want to keep Caleb busy with activities and really enjoy this time with him. I'm hoping that he can be enrolled in some swimming class at our local pond since the YMCA classes seem to fill up on the first day (which is when I turn in our registration form). I want to enjoy figuring out how to balance both my kids' needs/wants.
- Cook more. I want to learn how to cook more meals as part of my effort of eating better and providing better food for my family.
- Move more. I want to make working out a more regular activity. I've been a bit scattered about it even after putting it on the calendar. Must figure out how to make movement a more regular part of my day.
- Read more. I want to start reading the books I think I should have read a long time ago. Classic books that everyone else "had to read" for school or whatever. Feel free to recommend some!
- Stay connected with Aaron. We seem to be falling back into our pattern of living our own lives and forgetting at times that we live with each other. We're not having problems. I just want to feel more connected and happier together.
