Back to Work

7:40 a.m.: I have only one week to get ready for the new semester. That does not seem like enough time for all the things I want to do. I am teaching six classes, all of which require advance preparation, especially the online section of English Composition. This morning I need to prepare a letter to be mailed to the online students. I also have an appointment to meet with the incoming student newspaper editor. I have to teacher her how to be an editor. And I have plenty of other things to do, including finishing the move back into my new office. I feel a lot of stress about the whole situation. Perhaps that is why I had a headache last night that persists this morning, Nevertheless, I seemed to get a good night's sleep last night.

I had a good morning meditation at 6, and that helps. I want to get back to exercising too.
