So we went on a little getaway to the Napa Valley. The valley was beautiful, the wines plentiful and sufficient in variety. It was truly enjoyable. I had a great time. Funny how traveling for relaxation purposes always seems to be something one needs to recover from.

I am very tired. I need to get into the swing of this term before it just passes me by. There is so much I need to do for my students. So much I need to teach them, so much I want them to have when they leave. I want to be able to pass on something extraordinarily useful and relevant, not always as easy as it sounds. I have come out of this weekend of rumination to realize that I have a lot to give and I need to make sure I am holding myself accountable for all I am capable of.

That’s all there is to it.
