First Day Back at Work

Today was busy.  I had an Algebra meeting in the morning.  Then I walked all the way to the other end of the building (it's a very long building) to Jamie's office.  She one of my closest friends at work, and I only got to see her once during the summer.  We chatted and walked to the Science Building to find out where our rooms are going to be.  Neither of us have had a class in Science before so we didn't even know the layout (we actually had trouble finding our rooms so that should be interesting).  Then when we got back to our building I walked back to my office to get some work done. 

I edited my syllabi (yes, more than one) slightly and worked on other stuff, and next thing I knew, it was after 1:15, and I had a Trigonometry meeting at 2:00.  I needed to eat something.  I came home for lunch even though I brought my lunch today because I needed to mail something, and I left it at home this morning by mistake.  I had 2 Morning Star spicy black bean burgers and a big salad.  Then I mailed my package on my way back into campus (gotta love a college post office, so much better and faster than the real thing, and I pass it everyday heading to my office building).  I went straight back to work as soon as I sat in my office chair.  So much to do before students start classes.  Everything is done (I think) for Wednesday's first day of classes except for my attendance sheets.  I finished one before I left work, but by then it was after 4:30, and I was tired.  Besides, the way I make my attendance sheets, it takes the most time to create the first one.  After that, I can copy most of the info for the other 4 I need to make.  My profession spoils me and makes me forget what it's like to work a full day after 3 months off.  :)  So I came home and immediately changed clothes to walk outside.  I did another 5 miles.  And now after my shower and dinner of sauteed tofu (I know how it sounds, but yummy!), rice, some pumpkin for my veggie (I flavor it to taste just like pumpkin pie), and a strawberry banana smoothie, I am ready for sleep!  I am tired.
