I have one more class period with my students. It's odd to look back at how nervous we were with each other only a couple of months ago. Today, there was laughter and joking in the classroom that none of us would have been comfortable with. I hope that I can cultivate relaxed class atmospheres next semester as well.
I presented at my first poster conference this week. I hesitate to say that it was a complete waste of time since I at least gained a few free books. As an experience, however, it was underwhelming. The attendees had difficulties negotiating the limited space, so it was difficult for them to see the posters and engage individual presenters.
One more week and I'll be back in Michigan. That week contains many tasks. And at the end of that week, I'll still have a stack of portfolios to grade. But I'm still clinging to the thought of change being only a week away.
