Theoretically, my break starts tomorrow. Realistically, all day tomorrow will be spent in my office finishing up grading, writing letters of recommendation, and finishing up all the administrative tasks that I have to do. I honestly cannot imagine what it must be like to be heavily involved in administration.
Classes start again on January 4th. I have almost nothing done for my syllabi for next semester. One of them is for a class I am drastically reworking; another for a class I've never taught before.
Oh, and I have a conference paper I was planning on writing over the break, too.
Hmm. This does not seem very break-like to me.

I love my job
GeekBoy: How do you deal with coworkers who say stupid political stuff?
Me: I work with political science professors. They don't say stupid political stuff.
GeekBoy: Oh, yeah.

Research
I have a 6,000ish word zero draft of an article. It felt clunky, and was missing something to pull it all together. I read an article today and realized what I was missing. I think I have something important and new to say. Now to just get it out on paper the way it looks in my head.
