Spring break: still to do.

During spring break, I managed to

• finish, or almost finish, the paper that counterintuitive and I are writing.
• collect the URLs of quite a few (most?) of my composition students' midterm portfolios.
• finish reading my crazy fantasy novel. Very rewarding.
• make and deliver little Easter baskets for numerous grandchildren and send presents to the grandchildren who live in foreign lands.
• see my daughter the makeup artist and her tiny little boy.
• spend loads of time with college daughter.
• see movies galore.
• relish lots of quiet.
• prune the roses in my back yard.
• buy lots of new kinds of tea.
• finish the curriculum work for one course.
• go to dinner and a movie with the historian, singing son and his wife.
  

Still must

• finish the curriculum work for several other courses.
• draft the report of the 2010 assessment. (This will involve using the previous report as a genre template, changing the details, of course. Also, it will involve thinking about the 2010 assessment. Some thinking.)
• make dinner tomorrow (my daughter the makeup artist, her husband, the darling baby, and college daughter will be coming over to share this repast).
• read some portfolios and write comments for student conferences on Monday.
• write a review of a textbook I said I'd review. (Why? Why?)

Can I do all of this tomorrow? Watch me.

Spring break has left me feeling raahhther relaxed and possibly refreshed. Perhaps even rejuvenated. Like I can finish the semester without breaking a sweat. Or sweating just a little.
