So, everyone, I'm back! Here's things going on in my little corner of the world:
- It's started snowing.
- My car broke down last week, leaving me stranded right before the holiday party I was in charge of for my department. Because, yeah, that's always fun. I am still carless.
- I edited ~25 student papers in 24 hours. They're ~10 pages each and required detailed line and content edits. I won't scare you all with the amount of caffeine consumed to accomplish this.
- This week is the last week of classes. Can we get a Hallelujah?
- I haven't started Christmas shopping, though I finally made my Naughty and Nice list. Amazon Prime will be incredibly useful this year.
- I haven't written anything new in weeks. Something that WILL change this week. I need to write to stay sane, and the only hope I have of keeping my mind this finals season is with a healthy dose of words. Somehow I will make this work :)
So what's going on in your world? How is your holiday season going?
So sorry your car broke down. YIKES!!! It always seems to happen at the worst possible time, too. I've done all of my Christmas shopping online. But this year I seem to be having a hard time organizing it all and getting it under the tree. Our guest bed is piled with packages!
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here too, but no snow. We had some in November though. Yep, no fun when your car breaks down. We're pretty organised for the kids' presents, or should I say my wife is! The older two have recently started working, while the youngest is in school, so it's hard finding a time when they are all out at the same time so we can wrap. Good luck with your writing this month!
ReplyDeleteCar troubles are the worst! At one point this fall, both of ours were done, and I so wanted to pull my hair out. Hope yours resolves soon!
ReplyDeleteCar troubles are the worse! Well, okay - there's worse. Much worse. But they do suck. Our town is still snowless, but snow level is only a couple hundred feet higher, so all of the buttes around us are white. A matter of time. Enjoy your break!
ReplyDeleteExams are around the corner here as well on campus. It's a hectic, insane time of year.
ReplyDeleteHope you get your car back soon. It's chilly here too, but no snow yet. My fingers are crossed that you will get some writing in. I'm being a good writer and pushing myself to get down some words before my kid is off for the holiday break.
