Day 2-82 -- Two more Mondays

It was a cold start to the day today with a wicked north wind adding to the nippiness. The slush and water from the weekend were frozen solid and dusted with a skiff of new fallen snow. Walking required very careful footing. The sun shone later in the day adding some positive feelings to this first day of the work week. The day was filled with many responsibilities and meetings, with little time to pause even briefly throughout the day.

This Monday brought the realization that there are only 12 days left in the term. That means little time to complete the grading of term reports and prepare the three final exams. It is difficult dealing with the rising panic that comes with the end of term and the mounds of work that must be completed. It is everywhere on campus -- with faculty and with students. So much to do in so little time. Exams begin in less than three weeks.  Very stressful. My goal is to try to deal with things one day at a time, which can work as long as I spend the time up front partitioning the work load over the next two weeks to ensure that it gets done. That will be the task for tomorrow.

The song for today is from way back in the far reaches of my brain. It was one I enjoyed  as a youth from a band from Alberta. Enjoy!
