I have accepted fear as a part of life – specifically the fear of change… I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back. Erica Jong I have a lot to prepare for next week. I have a 200+ line program to compile and run, I have to arrange for child care for my children, prepare meal plans and lunches for work, finish a 5-7 page paper, prepare a presentation, figure out how I’m going to take the last two classes to complete my master’s degree, and the friggin list goes on and on.

Happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their fourth. I lounged around all weekend watching Kitchen Nightmares, Under the Dome, and Suits. I’m sure I gained about 5 lbs but who’s counting? My teaching duties ended last week on Wednesday for the robotics program. I must say that even though I’ll miss the teaching, I am quite relieved.
