The most valuable lessons that I have learned came from producing the institute publication. I learned what it was like being a student on a deadline, and how this is completely different from the feeling that comes from being an adviser on a deadline. I learned about that feeling of agonizing over a lead that just doesn't seem to get better, as well as settling for good enough in the minutes before deadline. Most importantly, I learned about the friendships that are made with a shared feeling of stress and a common goal.

Withdrawal INDEED! I have been wandering around the house today looking for things to keep me busy and wondering when I will be able to give a writing assignment to my students. . . who don't come back to school until late August.
ReplyDeleteIt may be time to actually look into the whole social networking thing we talked about earlier in the week - but I really can't see myself as being a tweeter....
