Overwhelmed

This week has been exhausting. It's one of those week where everything just piles up. I think it's a combination of having restless students who are waiting for summer, along with my own need for a long weekend. I have so much that I want to get done, and even more that I need to get down. Time for a slow down...but that won't happen for another 6 weeks. One day at a time.

I got my course materials in the mail. It came on a day I was already overwhelmed. I was excited, until I saw that the first assignment needs to be completed by May 26. I guess that gives me a week and a bit to find someone to interview and then write a 15 page paper on my insights regarding cross-cultural education. It's been a while since I've had to do that - could be an interesting transition. I'm scared.

My mind is busy and I really have nothing to write. The real reason I even logged in was to post some pictures. The basement is dug! It's exciting! I climbed the ladder to see what I could see - and this is what I saw....
