Did some writing this morning. Then did some work cutting tile for my kitchen backsplash. Need to pick up a wet tile saw in the next day or two for the big stuff. But should have that project done by this weekend. And hoping to get the writing project done in the same time frame. #AcademicMastodon #SemesterBreak #BreakProjects #PhDLife

The energy you can have when you not only slept in, but, most importantly, slept through! (and the alarm clock is still asleep)

Countdown. Two more days of teaching. #WinterHolidayIsComing 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m ready (for the days off). #SemesterBreak #HolidaySeason

And just like that, the semester is over. Grades submitted. Time to work on a couple of pet projects, including one home improvement task. #AcademicMastodon #AcademicChatter #PhDLife #SemesterBreak #Exhale

I submitted final grades and my spring courses are prepped - now to spend the entire break trying to meet a book contract deadline. Both my co-author and I have had obstacle after obstacle (sick partners, sick child, and a broken finger) making the completion of this project difficult. We have been 3/4 done for months. We got this? #SemesterBreak #WinterBreak #AcademicMastodon #Commodon

One class is completely graded. One more to go. Only 9 things to grade. Good place to be in for the weekend. #AcademicMastodon ##PhDLife #NearlyFinished #SemestersEnd #SemesterBreak #Exhale
