I'm back to the keyboard today--finally. Life spun maniacally out of control after Christmas Break with our end of term at school, so I literally got next to no sleep for ten days. I had 20 hours of sleep over six days, then crashed one day, went right back to four hours of sleep a night for one more week of school to start a new semester. It wasn't just at school, but in my online job as well. They had finals, so it was the mania of students who had procrastinated an entire semester and decided to do everything in two weeks. As you can imagine, I'm happy to now collapse into a heap of fatigue over this three-day weekend and try to finally log back on!
Today is a monumental holiday in terms of humanitarian work and giving back, as Martin Luther King Jr. was an amazing humanitarian, activist, and leader who heralded a change that called for the good in all of us to come forward. I've thought a lot about his bravery today and ways that I can be brave in my personal and professional life. I don't want to go off on a long, philosophical post, but I think we can agree that there is much that we can still do to achieve King's dream of equality for so many.
Well, I hope that over the coming days and weeks I can find some balance and write a bit more. I'm hoping to do some mini book reviews and even get onto some film reviews before the Oscars in March. For tonight, I'm off to write a few posts and then escape into some more reading before this long weekend is over!
What have you been up to this weekend?
Girl, go get some sleep!!
ReplyDeleteLOL. I hear you! Those end of term grading sessions are killer. :( I'm now getting 8 hours again, so we're all good!
Deletelol Seriously. Those kids aren't worth less than seven hours of sleep a night. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're too funny! I'm back up to speed again--thankfully. I wish it didn't come down to those crash sessions like that! *sigh*
