I always find the first week of classes exhausting — not because I enter new classes underprepared, but because of the number of new faces I see and the number of new people I meet. This past week, I probably met over 200 people (between classes and advising). I can understand why new students often look a bit dazed at the end of their first week.
Still, I’m looking forward to finding the semester’s routine again. Somehow, this week, I managed to revise three poems and write a brand new poem! I’m trying to keep a target goal of submitting to at least ten journals a month, and so far, I have only submitted to five, so I know I have a lot of work to do before the end of January.
