The first weekend of the Fall term is always a strange time. Classes are back in session, so I'm in Teaching Mode, but there really isn't that much to do, because I haven't collected any work requiring grading yet. I always feel like the last weekend before classes ought to be some grand last hurrah of the summer, followed by an unremitting grind for ten weeks, but in reality, the academic grind takes a few weeks to really ramp up.
And somehow, every year, I'm surprised by this.
Anyway, I find myself with some Things to Do, but nothing all that pressing. And it's a beautiful day here after a week or two of solid rain, so I think we're going to try to get out of the house. I just got back from a bike ride, and then we're going to go out and see some outdoor festival sorts of things. No weekend blogging for you!
