It's June, and I'm in two different modes: 1). Clean-up for the year and 2) planning for next year. It's different this year since I am no longer a department head. I am finding it less stressful. I have already completed all my recitals! It's only June 5th. I have never been done with recitals this early. I have CPT's to complete with my classes and those begin next week. This week I will have the written examination completed - indeed, it's very early for this component, and I will have plenty of time to mark the written examinations. I have already submitted ordering for next year! I have collected some music and so my list of things to do is getting smaller!
I think the added on-call supervisions and cafeteria duties have not been too bad. I had a couple of uncomfortable moments, but they passed and I am proud that I managed to keep my cool under some questionable challenging moments with students. I have to admit that some on-calls were very pleasant and enjoyable. It all seems to balance-out in the end.
Bye for now.
