The weekend was vastly improved by the realization that due to my brilliant planning, the last week of class will be devoted to student presentations!  So, I only have 5 weeks of frantic lecture-planning to get through.  Plus, once I get through this week and next week - the following 2 weeks are one class each, thanks to Easter!  There's a reason ( Read more... )

Okay, not ill, but I shouldn't have taken quite so much time off yesterday, Sabbath or no.  Oh well.

• Finish Hist Geog lecture for Monday
• Grade GIS mid-terms
• Pay bills
• Attend special program at Sunday School (11:00)
• Attend CPR class (2:00)

• Write up GIS mid-term study guide
• Run through part of next tutorial
• Review plans for rest of Historical Geography semester
• Pack for tomorrow
• Hang up & annotate new calendar board

• Finish up Sekrit Project
• Finish up Hist Geog lecture
• Run through GIS Tutorials
• Grade GIS assignments

And that's enough to go on with.  Considering I'm going to have to skip Adult Hebrew this morning and the movie at Temple this afternoon in order to have a hope of getting these things done!  Waaah!

• Finish Hist Geog lecture
• Excavate my car from snow and ice

• To Game
• Run through GIS tutorials

Not as far ahead of things as I would like, but I am rested and my MIL's birthday is duly celebrated.

• Fart around adding reviews to my new Goodreads account (thanks so much Margaret!)
• Work on ( Read more... )

Snow!  But First Day of Classes should be sunny and (down on the coast) over 30 degrees Fahrenheit.  Thursday, on the other hand, may be under 20, with more snow ... we'll see.

The rather urgent task list for the day:

• Add grading info to Hist Geog paper info sheet & finalize
• Prep GIS class paper info sheet
• Decide whether Hist Geog lecture outline ( Read more... )

Sunday is a sort-of work day around here.  Especially since I'm going to be out on Monday.

• Finish tweaking Historical Geography syllabus
• Revise GIS syllabus (with actual textbook in hand)
• Play with Evensong

Yesterday I went to the UConn women's basketball game with my parents, and then while we waited for the traffic to clear up we sat and had a beer ( ( Read more... )
