The older I get, the longer it takes me to recover from abusing my body. That's what I do, during the academic year, abuse my body. I sleep little, work every moment, over-dose on caffeine, cut back on exercise, eat for comfort instead of hunger.
I still don't feel very awake and its been over three weeks since graduation. This term I had several students who were abusive about their grades, and that overshadows the memories (for right now at least) of the good work that I did with their classmates.
As usual the number of times that I can't do my own thing to drive my kids around, take them to doctors, stay home for house repairs, etc. makes my locus of control feel very external.
At least I've made a good, leisurely start on my class preparation for the Fall.
