Earlier today, after my last class this morning, I decided to stay in the library and work on my lesson plans using my trusty laptop. I was surprised to discover how refreshing it feels to stay in the lib and think. I never ran out of ideas, nor did I get distracted with anything – no substitutions, no questions, no submissions, no nothing. It was just plain quiet and peaceful. Materials seemed to easily flow out of my head and into writing. I guess it’s a welcome psychological reprieve from the hectic atmosphere in the faculty lounge.

Too bad reprieves don’t come often.

Mental note: Gotta find more sanity lib times.
