Our decorations are waiting in their usual storage spot. I had grand ideas of just how much work I was going to get accomplished over Thanksgiving break and how much decorating I was going to get done. Ummm....well....that didn't quite work out the way I wanted. Those darn vacation days don't have the extra hours in them that I needed to accomplish everything on my list. Student teaching is almost over (sniff, sniff) but that means I am now teaching full time everyday with added Professional Seminar obligations attached (electronic portfolios, teaching an occasional upper level college class, interviews, resumes, presentations, meet and greets, etc). I don't have the blahs about getting things around for the holidays (I did send out half my Christmas cards!), I just don't have the energy for it at the moment. It will all be there waiting for me after graduation (less than 2 weeks away).
