Spring break is over :( it was good while it lasted but the time off is never enough. M came to visit on the 4th and I had to work the week after, but it went fine. We had one week off together and it went by so fast! We had to drive to Dallas so he could watch the dog while I was in Chicago for a conference. I had an all right time; I was really hurting on money though so we stayed close to the hotel for food. I don't know if I thought we would run around or whatever but I am not really caring. The presentation went ok; I felt ok presenting, but I didn't have a huge crowd which was ok for my first time anyway. I don't know if it was worth $700 though for sure!
Today I worked and we did some stuff in class today starting on Unit 4. I have aLOT to grade this weekend but I think I am still in recovery mode after Driving 12 hours and flying another 10 hours in the past week, coupled with presenting for the first time, submitting a grant application, and revising my pre proposal. I have one more revision I need to get done tonight but I am not motivated to work on it just yet. I vow to have it done tonight though. I need to get moving on that. I only have a few sections to fix but I had a big nap today from 4:45 to 6:45 and I had a really hard time getting up from it! I talked on the phone to M a bit but I was still really tired after walking B and reading the paper and eating a little. I might watch a 90210. I am supposed to go in to work tomorrow; I can't do that until 2pm, but I am hoping this takes care of the hours I missed? I don't want to come in on that Monday... Anyway I will worry about it later.
I had to set up my poster with velcro today, pick up my tshirt for the competition tomorrow, and submit funding receipts for my travel today. I got two new forms though that might need to be printed.
Other items on my to-do list:
Follow up with Ashley about travel receipts
Follow up with grant application receipt
Poster competition tomorrow (handouts?/cards?)
Resubmit my pre-proposal to committee
Email 2 people from my presentation about the survey and rubric and the correlations.
Set up reading list for next 6 weeks
GRADE tons of papers for the students this weekend
AND RECOVER! Relax
