So the first day of vacation proper was solidly unproductive in the good way, insofar as I ran off to work and documented curriculum and tried to do some long-range planning for retirement again--May is looking to be this month's March as far as strain goes--it's sad, though, to realize that for all of this long-range planning, there's work that's already done out there, like CMP and so on, which takes care of all of this. It's an odd mindset, though, to get so deep into curriculum planning, and at the same time to feel so alone--a cursory glance at the existent other math curricula at my school reveals no narrative, no sense, no arc, and very little actual project-based learning, or even an attempt--I'm stuck, meanwhile, reinventing the wheel, which is fine, because most math folks are still using some sort of travois. Not that there's anything wrong with all that.
