Today I scrambled to finish my grades, laboriously entered them into our clanky, cranky system, and then shot off to the end-of-year party.

I got home and realized something that had been lurking beneath the surface of my thoughts all day, but never fully realized in my mind.

I have nothing to do. No planning, no grading, no meetings, no stresses, no reflection on what happened in class, no worrying about next term, no worries about finding a summer job. Nothing.

I have nothing to do.

And it’s fabulous.
