So I've missed a whole week if not more, and this is rather unprecedented, but probably because most of my computer-bound time has been consumed by worrying about the future and trying to settle all of the myriad details I know I won't have time for during the year. That, and I've been working on cleaning out two years' worth of closet-accumulation, which also has a great deal of college memorabilia I really no longer need in the least. So it's been a very Alric sort of week, I suppose, when looking at your portfolio exceeds looking at porn.

The good news is that I'll be able to keep chugging at the math ed research stuff this fall with Metro Math, and indeed the promise of a broader sociological perspective as well as more community-outreach efforts seem essential to my future efforts at running a school, and not into the ground. It's just a little scary to think that there are only two solid weeks of vacation left and then I start goin' back, though the kids won't arrive for well over a month yet. (in light of the new immigrant backgrounds of my students, I hope this isn't too literally true.)
