I have a million and one things to accomplish today, but I just wanted to check on everyone’s mental state. I’m trying to stay positive…we are rolling into the last two weeks of the semester, and everything’s kicked up a notch. Meetings, grading, assignments, test creation, and finishing writing my syllabus for the graduate course I’m teaching starting May 18. But remember…remember…it’s very important to smile through it all.
Happy Friday and be well, all.
Xx
Stephanie
