The Now: November 16, 2022

I was looking ahead in my calendar to try to plot things out through the rest of the semester. I am in disbelief that there are only three weeks of classes left. It feels like the students only showed up last week. Also, Thanksgiving is early this year which is just making my calendar weird.

Here are the top things I've been working on:

1. Website Usability Tests - While the students are (mostly) ghosting their sessions with me, the faculty are showing up. I have already learned a ton. I've got a few sessions left and I'm hoping to squeeze in a few more. Since most of these are on Zoom, I've been reviewing the recordings to finalize my notes to make sure I'm not missing anything. Then it's on to assessment and report writing... and the making of a massive to do list.
2. Thanksgiving Week Planning - I got the all clear to work from home next week, so we'll be venturing out to family early. Not only am I planning what work I will tackle, I'm also working on our menu and packing list. I'm using this trip as a chance to update my standard packing lists and pre-vacation to do lists. Gotta remember those newspaper stops!
3. Webinar Series Close Out - The last webinar in our fall series is Friday. I'm hosting this one. I'm working on the slides and notes. Plus, I'm planning the final wrap up of things to get recordings posted, emails sent, and feedback reviewed. In the back of my head, I'm thinking about our spring series which focuses on faculty.
