Looking Forward to Summer
I am definitely looking forward to summer. This is the time of the year when students are preparing for their final exams and submitting projects. The level of anxiety among students is extremely high. Not to mention that they are preparing to go on externships. I will spend my weekend fine tuning the final exams and grading projects. Sometimes, I think it would be better to be a student than the instructor grading all the exams and reading all the research projects.
The light at the end of the tunnel is that the spring semester is just about over and I can look forward to summer. Since I will have a lighter course load during the summer, I plan on focusing my attention on having some summer fun. My kids are also preparing for their end of grade tests and they also have their share of anxiety about testing. My son wakes up every morning and announces how many days are left until the beginning of summer break. We have already planned our summer vacation. The excitement is really building to pack up and head to relaxing place in sun.
