November 18, 2025
This is the last few days before Thanksgiving break. Then we're back for a couple weeks (give or take, depending on your exam schedule) and Fall 2025 will be in the books.
I plan to spend part of the break doing all the work I keep promising myself I'll do and part of the week aggressively ignoring my phone and email. I encourage you to do the same.
Write your papers, catch up on your reading, devote focused time to the academics that demand focus. Then stop. Be with family and friends. Eat too much, nap in the middle of the afternoon, watch something ridiculous. Catch your breath - really catch your breath - before the last push of the semester.
See you in December.
