lunadelcorvo: (Xmas Cocoa)
Well, it's one more day and a wakeup before I'm back in the classroom. I can't complain - I got a full extra week on account of the snow, which I will never turn down. It makes going back seem so surreal though.

It will be a day of reteaching expectations (how to be a student as opposed to a feral meerkat), and then it's on to Mongols, then China, then the Middle Ages. I think for China, we will do the blue pottery art project again, and for the Middle Ages, I'm thinking of having them make manuscript pages... I've done it in a one-week, half-day summer camp, so maybe? No calligraphy pens, though! I'm not that brave!

For now, though, one more lazy, snowy Sunday ahead... Time for cocoa, I think.

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.

Historians are the Cassandras of the Humanities
