The Now: May 7, 2025

Final exams start today. I'm doing as much cheerleading as I can to motivate our students. I'm quite excited that I get to use my coworker's fluffy kitty in some of my work. She's slowly becoming a bit of a library mascot.

Here's what else I'm working on:

1. Speaking Proposals: For some reason, a lot of presentation proposals are due in May. I've already sent out four and I've got a few more to go. I don't expect all of them to be accepted but, if even half are, I'm looking at a pretty busy 2025-2026 academic year.
2. Summer Webinars: We ease up on how many webinars we host during the summer. But, I get to focus on more fun and general interest subjects. This summer, I'm putting on sessions about taking better pictures, managing your camera roll, promoting yourself online, and college productivity tips. I've handled all the logistics and now I'm in promotion mode. That will kick-off into overdrive once finals are done.
3. Doctor's Appointments: I really need to schedule a slew of those "you're getting older and probably should" doctor's appointments. I've got a list, I just need to work through it one by one. Let's see how many of these I can knock out this summer.
