Back from Hiatus

That was a looooong break, wasn't it? That's a rhetorical question, by the way.

I have a list of excuses, but you don't want to hear them, do you? They're boring. Summer heat and apathy top the list.

Now it's days away from back-to-school time for me, and I think it'd be a good idea to turn over a new leaf. I always thought that people in academia should celebrate the new academic year more than the actual New Year, so consider this my list of New (Academic) Year's Resolutions:

1. Start exercising again, at least three days a week. Four would be even better. I'd like to run on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the morning, and do a video two other days out of the week.

2. Get to bed by 10 p.m. every single school night. I'm teaching at 8 a.m. MWF this semester, and I'm gonna be in the hurt box if I don't get into this habit.

3. Stop the evening snacking. This has been my downfall this summer. The kids go to bed and the feasting begins. Mindless eating in front of the computer is a great way to ensure that baby weight never leaves.

Classes start Thursday, and so will my new, improved routine. Watch for updates. I promise it won't be another three months.
