Like the groundhog, my head will pop out of its vacation hole on 2/22 knowing that there is just one week til CAPT exams. So, in order to best prepare myself for that three-week ordeal, and as a follow-up to the stress that was midterms, here are the Top Five Things I Am Planning to Do Over Vacation...
5) Sleep
4) Drink less coffee and eat less chocolate
3) Beat my personal record of going two and a half days without changing out of my pajamas and into clothes
2) Go to an adult movie. No, not that kind of an adult movie, just something other than "The Chipmunks: The Squeakeal" or anything that involves a princess falling in love!
1) Sleep some more
How 'bout you? What will you be doing to regenerate all those brain cells lost during the first half of the year? How will you mentally built yourself up for the home streeeeeeeetch???

My strategy to de-stress is to do a lot of work - getting a lot of prep work done for all my Sound and SCSU classes, so I don't get overwhelmed with my crazy work load this year. Like a pre-emptive strike!
ReplyDeleteI'm also going to try a bunch of workout classes at my new gym to see which I like and can survive!
Well, the second half of that plan sounds good! Although I guess a little bit of work now to save yourself from a lot of work later makes sense. Maybe you can do that work in two-day old pajamas!
ReplyDeleteI am happily headed to the snowy slopes of Alta, Utah. I plan to ski and ski and ski and hang out with my kids! There will be some sleeping in there too and reading a good book that I don't have to grade. I will not be staying in my PJs though.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of PJ's for 2-days . . . .I'm thinking good food, good friends, and an indulgent amount of chocolate dessert at "anti-valentines day" gathering, prepping for taxes followed by treats and beverages with old roommate, and a sunday funday of a good book or a movie :) Love 3-day weekends!!
