The return of students also marks the beginning of my department's busy event and lecture season. So, my average workday isn't just an hour longer now that we've kissed those glorious summer hours goodbye. No siree! There's often event prep (grocery shopping) to be done when I leave the office. Some nights there's media to run at 7:00 pm movie showings, and there are plenty of receptions to cater following evening lectures. This is the job of an academic event coordinator, though; and I love the job! It just takes a little while to get back into the swing of things. Figuring out how to schedule a personal life, an online course, and hobbies into the mix might take some time, so I'm afraid blog posts will be a little sporadic until I settle into a new routine.
I know that feeling "busy" is not a novel problem. Please let me know how you fit so much into your busy schedules! Is there a way to do it all without sacrificing my treasured 8 hours of sleep?
