Thanks to Kelly Hashway for hosting this weekly meme!!
Okay, it's the middle of March and I'm finding myself going "why is this month so utterly incredibly insane???" I don't know if it's midterms, or impending spring break (and the conference that entails), or Daylight Savings, or what, but yeesh, it's headless chicken dance time around here!
I did get a short story written, however, for an anthology. It felt great to get some words on paper, and words that were interesting and kept me going. Because I'm battle the middle-slump-of-doom in my other WIP, this was super energizing!
The weather in Montana this past month has been surreal. We're almost a month early for spring and I couldn't be happier! Bring on the sun and sandals.
I am training my students in the lab this week for the first time as a large group. Gulp. I've always been able to do this as a one-on-one thing before, but this batch needs some group training. I am having visions of crazy spills and crying students. Okay, okay, clearly that won't happen, and I think we're going to have a lot of fun, but it will be interesting!
The weather here in CT has been amazing, too! The boys and I have been outside so much and haven't wanted to go in. Loving the early spring.
ReplyDeleteMarch is Hell, from an academic view... there's never enough time.
ReplyDeleteSpring feels like it's come earlier this year. I found the weekend hard losing an hour. Spring break is next week for us.
ReplyDeleteHappy writing.
Good luck with the group training. I feel like this has been a crazy March so far too! Insane. But- I am totally loving the more springlike weather we are having here in CT!
ReplyDeleteThings do tend to heat up around March, don't they? And yikes to group training. I had to do that once...a Basic PC Skills class to a bunch of government workers. It wasn't as scary as it was in my mind in the days leading up to it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you managed to get a story written. As you say, getting the words down is what keeps us going - even if we do sometimes switch projects to achieve that.
