Does Vacation Mean More Work?

Yes it does.

I just spent the weekend in Nashville and had a great time with the wife, parents, and some extended family. It was pretty relaxing, I feel like I ate a herd of animals, and I got a decent amount of sleep.

Now it is back to reality.

It's Sunday night and I have to prepare for tomorrow. I've had my coffee, I've got some Hammock waves rising from my laptop speakers, and I'm Powerpointing with a vengeance (except for the moment I'm taking here).

So, the question is, was having a day and a half of vacation with being able to do little to no work worth it? Yes it was.

I realized that almost having a mental collapse last week with my midpoint review looming in the near future and having classes to start from scratch again, that I need a day or two of reprieve every so often. Even though I am a bit stressed about getting things done, I feel quite good about my weekend of recuperation.

I think I will be taking another break/quick catch-up in two weeks when my friend visits from Texas. But I haven't seen him in like 2 years, so again, totally worth any last minute frenzy for the day or so of great fun and conversation.

Feel the same or different? Let me know? I love to know what other people are thinking.

I also came across this idea for my next post finalizer.

I'm Back?

Well, needless to say. Life became a bit hectic last semester and I drifted away in to the abyss of extreme distractedness by things like work, school, and life in general.

I am going to try to stay on top of this whole writing thing better this semester.

The first week was a complete sprint to the finish. I got along better psychologically than last semester, but I was still just as busy, actually, probably more busy!

I have three classes, three practicumites, and an independent study for this semester. I was going to be presenting my midpoint review for grad school this semester as well, but I almost had a nervous breakdown when I found out I had to turn everything in by February 4th. However, after talking with the Director of Animation & VFX I felt a lot better. He said I could still go this semester and be fine, but I opted for Summer so I could have a more developed (and hopefully impressive) presentation instead of something I shot out of my behind at the last second. *sorry if that comment offends anyone, but it made me smile

Snow happened, and I was stranded at a fellow faculty's house last night. I'm really thankful that there are such awesome people around me that I get to work with. Thanks so, so much Mr. and Mrs. B. You totally rock.

Wife is home. Time to go eat pizza before I waste away to nothing....

I'm going to think of something else other than quotes this semester, but later.
