The chalk dust has settled,
The chalk dust has settled, the janitors have cleaned up all incredible amounts of garbage, the tiny windows have been shut, all the books have been closed, and I've locked the door for a three day weekend. With a two wine glass perspective, I think the end of the week was much better. I even had about fifteen minutes of my students all listening and participating, out of 225 minutes. This is an improvement.
No more barfing, no more major stress. I have such a great support system of friends, colleagues, and professors. I was whistling tunes tunelessly in class today while cleaning up, laughing at lunch, and made the students laugh a few times. I am so glad I didn't follow my first impulse of shrieking into the night. For the first few mornings of hell, I would walk past this sheet metal company. I would look into their shop, see all the men working the punch presses and formers, thinking that those jobs were probably the same salary and a lot less stress.
Now I'm off to dinner with Van, and if I'm still awake, a nightcap with Scott. Since I'm running on very little sleep, we'll see if I can make it past 9 pm. I must say that being a responsible adult has KILLED my social life. This weekend will be a very healthy dose of friends, coffee, and very little school. I'm also looking to be educated into the wonders of Yom Kippur, which sounds very tasty.
