Day 3 - 103 -- Running in Circles

It was a day filled with backing and forthing. I went up to campus to print a document, off campus to deliver the document,and to pick up other documents. Once that was completed, I headed home for a late, late lunch. After eating, I headed back to campus to deliver the box of papers I'd picked up and headed back home to work on yet more grade calculation.  Supper happened and then I headed back to campus to give a colleague a break in the midst of the final she was invigilating tonight. Then -- you guessed it -- I headed back home again. If there had been a hop on and off bus route doing the circle from home to office, it would have been well used today. Thankfully, work is close -- 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk.

The physical moving about in circles today seemed to mimic the way my brain has been functioning in the past couple of days. Trying to prioritize tasks to get things completed on time, only to have new tasks try to replace the established priorities. Sleep has been filled with dreams of busyness and  my attempts to redo the magic list or restart the tasks at hand. I'm hoping that once exams begin and I have piles of grading, these feelings may diminish and be replaced by the introspective focus of grading -- a hateful job at best. So -- between now and tomorrow evening, I have to complete grading of a major paper and write a report due at the end of the week. Hopefully, focus will arrive for a long visit then.

There was only one song that went around and around in my head today. This has the original singer with an amazing guitar artist. Enjoy!
