I just finished a night in my office doing grading. I had to wrap up grading of my two course and 3 internships that I supervised. I also had to write a letter of recommendation for a former student. Now, I just have a few little things to wrap up and then get ready for the fall. It is nice to think I might have a few days that I can actually relax or not be so busy.
The town is getting quiet, but it is going to be very short-lived with the students returning soon. It is like the feeling just before you leave the ocean and try to capture the smell and the sounds before returning home. I am trying to capture the quiet and the peaceful feeling before the storm of students and work. It is something that is exciting for the most part.
I am watching the olympics and all the events on tonight. It is so cool to watch such dedication and strength in the athletes. They train so hard and give it all...what a great way to live.
