Running to Writing Freedom!

Even though my leave is in full effect, today was my last day of being asked to show up on campus. I got up early - more from the sheer anxiety of it all - to work on a graduation speech I was giving. So I was productive on and off all day but not with my actual work (books, articles, you know the "real tenure stuf). I ended up putting in close to 3 hours of writing and editing so I am proud b/c in the end it went great!! The speech went over great extremely well (parents, students and colleagues all came up to thank me for my words). Afterwards I grabbed a quick sandwich and then bailed out and yelled (to myself) I's free, I's free...
