After a huge push yesterday (thank heavens for federal holidays!), I've finished my second-to-last assignment for this current "fire hose" of a class, and I've got a pretty good start on the final piece that is due tomorrow. At the start of class. Printed out. With a short essay for a cover letter.

This means that I'm not out of the woods yet, but need to keep focused and wrap everything up. In theory, I have a subbing job again tomorrow, which means that I won't be able to pull the 12-hrs straight effort that I put into the previous piece. I also have to get at least a reasonable amount of sleep, because fourth graders will eat you alive if they think that they can.

So, it's off to the showers now, to clear my head, and then a hard push until bedtime. Fortunately, school lets out an hour early tomorrow, so that will help, but only if there's a minimum yet to be done.... like maybe spell-checking and printing. Fun, fun. But then IT'S OVER! and I can start figuring out where the Boy is going to sleep when he comes home in two weekends for the holiday.
