But when Sunday came, these frivolous thoughts were replaced with thoughts about the final three weeks of the semester and the lectures, meetings, and grading that accompany them.
Oh, real life. You hit hard.
Still, after ten years of teaching at the university I've worked through this cycle enough times to realize one thing: starting again is rarely as bad as thinking about starting again. It's the mental game that gets to you, the overcoming of inertia.
Life is just one long series of overcoming inertia, isn't it?
I'm heartened by the email I received from a colleague today reminding me to finish strong. So, for these next two and a half weeks, that's what I plan to do.
Just finish strong.
I really needed to hear that"finish strong" wow thank you for this share!
