coffeesnob318The last week of classes before finals is usually stressful to me because I start getting separation anxiety from my students, but not so much this semester. I just feel numb. And I can't wait until the weekend. Does this mean I'm not enjoying my jobs anymore (no really, I do like them most of the time) or that I've just learned to not get attached? Not sure I like either answer.
Tonight should be fun. After 6 group presentations, if I'm still coherent, I may go to holiday on the square night. All the quaint little shops in town have cookies and champagne and wassail and Brave Combo plays on the lawn of the courthouse.
