So we're at the countdown stage. First, about 2 weeks left of the semester. The last day of classes here is May 8th, but for expos classes it's May 7th, but I teach MWF, so it's May 6th for me. I've canceled the last day of class in order to conference, so I'll actually be done teaching on May 7th. Confused yet? Friday is the portfolio reading day, so there's that, and I'll get essays from another class on Monday, so there will still be work to do. Still, about two weeks of classes left.
Two weeks from today, though, is our closing date on the house. This, my friends, is incredibly exciting. I'm starting to think about color schemes and such. The timing is interesting, what with it being the end of the term and all, but we won't be moving until the end of May. We'll use May to clean and paint (since we're paying rent through May anyway).
The end of the term, of course, also coincides with the end of my first year as a tenure-track professor. Well, the end of my first academic/teaching year. I want to blog about this soon -- about the difference between the first and second semesters, about what I learned in my first year -- but not now. Now, I'm heading home for the day.
