I was reminded of my blog this morning when I was asked to take care of an IT issue at work having to do with WordPress. My last post was from the “beginning” of summer in May. What happened to all the time in between?!?!
Well, a lot has happened since then, so…as not to overwhelm the 3 of you who actually read this (hi, Mom!), here is a summary of what I can remember from this summer:
(Sadly, I am opening up my Outlook calendar to jog my failing memory)
May
- I used to blog more
- I read a ton of books, including Lord of the Flies, The Devil Wears Prada, and some others I just can’t remember at the moment. Scratch “ton” out of the previous sentence.
- Vacation! I completely forgot about this (sadly), but Mike and I were able to drive up through Oregon and Washington…all the way up to Victoria, Canada. So much fun!
June
- Vacation, still! Ah, fun memories. Seems like years ago already. Pictures can be found here.
- Back to work. Thankfully, we do like work…
- We went to a cabin with some friends. Fun times!
- I vaguely remember a lot of sushi…
July
- Birthdays, weddings, and work. Not necessarily in that order.
- Some of our dearest friends moved to Texas (*sniffle*), but I think that might have been at the beginning of August…
August
- In progress, but I think I’m ready for next semester. I think…
- Lots more reading, but most of it was lesson prep. Except for the Mass Effect novels. Good stuff! I hate Saren that much more…
- Mike’s birthday is on the 31st (which happens to be the first day of classes). I am going to attempt to get him something he will never forget. That’s right, babe. You’ve got it comin’…
Next semester, I’m teaching 4 undergrad classes, taking 2 grad classes (and one “open course” on Social Media and Open Education for good measure!), working part-time for IT, attempting to get my website up and running, and some other things, so I’ll be busy and mostly out of trouble. God is good. :)
I better get back to reading as much as I can before the semester really starts. Icanhazcheezburger, I’m looking at you…
Dear Corinne,
I am so glad that you will be teaching 4 classes, Lord willing, in ten days! and one more class, Lord willing, in 5 weeks! You will surely make an impact on your students and co-teachers. I am also glad that you are enrolled in two classes at GWU and taking one at Regina University open class. This one good lesson I learned in college, “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece.” When you think you have so much to prepare, etc., be thankful to God for all the work He has given you. He is there to equip you with whatever you need and make you ENJOY the fruit of your labor. GO! GO! GO! in Jesus’ name! This note is from your praying mother.
Wow, unexpectedblog resurrection!
Hey, look at the bright side. You can refer back to this post years later when you’re trying to remember what you did this year. ;)
