Last Quarter

Spring Break has ended, and it's a sprint to the finish.  This week contains beginning of the week meetings, and things will be hectic for another 10 days or so.

I'm a bit under the weather in terms of stamina from last week's surgery, but I know that it could be a lot worse.

Layover

I usually have appropriately timed layovers, but for whatever the reason on this trip my layover in Atlanta lasts for hours.  So I splurged on a day pass at the Delta Sky Lounge.

There is a lot to be said for a comfortable seat, table, and power outlets.  I have been much more productive than I ever thought I would be, minimizing the work that I will need to do in my hotel.  I am usually ready to relax in my hotel room, not ready to work.

Spring Conferences

I am so worn thin approaching a conference in March that it is hard to picture it as anything other than an escape from my home responsibilities.  There is always the joy of being primarily responsible for no one other than myself, but I am usually frayed thin by March.  The conference is usually tiring (driving, evening/morning/afternoon meetings, driving) but this one should be a bit more leisurely, if I can finish preparing for it (class preparation, committee work, etc.).
