Thanks for your comment, Dana. There is a lot of good to come from living a simple life. I'm not there yet, but I'm striving toward it every day.
Hearing about how you used to write papers last minute stresses me out! Haha. I definitely wing it in certain areas of life, but that's another I've always been overly prepared for.
I appreciate that reminder that students most likely notice the atmosphere and the vibe I give off more than how the class is structured. You're so so so right!!
Always striving for the happy medium. Glad I'm not alone. <3
