Day 2-97 -- Rushing, Rushing

Two classes done for another year. Well, the classroom aspects are done but the final exams and grading remain. Seeing things end can be challenging. I have one further course that will meet one last time tomorrow. There are some last minute grades to compile for course components -- I'd hoped to get these done by Thursday, but they will need to be completed for many students by tomorrow as the exam is only 3 days later.  Very odd to think that it will begin so quickly.

This time of year moves so fast with so much to do in so little time. This creates anxiety, fatigue and various stresses. We are all either giddy or cranky -- moods swinging wildly. It creates potential for miscommunication and hurt feelings. Luckily we are all so tired, we may manage to forget any indiscretions. <smile>

A couple lines from a song came to mind today as I was rushing to get the next set of numbers ready to distribute. It discusses the need to be mindful and breathe. Enjoy!
