Rest

Finally, the semester reached its end, and I can breathe for the next few weeks of winter break.

One of the biggest problems of working simultaneously at three colleges is that each term ends at the same time, causing a convergence of pressing responsibilities. At the community college, the end of the quarter always brings a rush of last minute assignments and students trying to graduate after being absent for three months. At Whitworth, grades are always due during this time. And of course, Gonzaga makes me submit my own coursework during that time. Needless to say, that convergence can cause more than a little stress.

But..... it has all ended, and now I can relax a minute.
