Firmly into semester

[eveglass]

It occurs to me that I'm now at the half-way mark of pretty much all my contracts. I still stress a bit about lesson planning, but we've solidly moved into the main chunk of the course and things are settling down. Thankfully, none of these are for-credit courses, so I don't need to prepare any midterms, and my students won't be stressing about final exams. It's just routine for another month or so, until the contracts wrap up.

Shiva has also wound down for me. I spent a great deal of time at the shiva house since Sunday, but I don't think I'll be back. The official last day is tomorrow, and I'll be out of the house from 11:30 am (possibly earlier) until very late at night. I've got a busy day planned tomorrow:

- go to karate for the first time in a month (afternoon class: sorry, Phil!)
- give in my paperwork for ELAM (so they can pay me for the past month of work)
- potentially have lunch with Ian
- visit Prof. Krantz to follow up from our conversation last night (he might have part-time work for me)
- hand in some forms to Concordia to allow me to register as an independent student in January
- McGill book fair (if I've got free time and free money)
- 7th Sea game
- Maz (which hopefully will feature LC as a cameo)

So... yeah. Not much on the "free time" front tomorrow. But it'll be good to feel like I've got stuff to do, and it'll definitely feel good to be back at karate again.

Now, to grab a soup before my class starts in 45 minutes. Thank god I brought a book.
