End of Semester

The last two weeks have flown by. I returned from NOLA just two weeks ago, came down with a terrible cold, and now we're at the end of the semester. Funny thing is that at week 15 of the semester, I feel like I'm just hitting my stride with the class I'm teaching (two sections of organizational theory). I have a lot of great ideas for how I'll approach this class the next time I teach it -- including changing one of the texts in favor of another. The students are so inspiring: They are curious, honest, supportive of our learning community, and committed to our shared success. I appreciate the joy of teaching even while it's often a challenge.
I'm going to take my own advice regarding writing and work on the "at-least-one-hour-a-day" approach. I'll need to schedule the time just as I'll schedule time for yoga, blogging, and so on. But I know for sure that if I don't put it on the calendar, it doesn't happen.
Thanks, everyone, for a great semester!
