This semester is going to be truly exciting. I have since abandoned my quest to be a pure scientist pursuing scientific research. This means I have entered the realm of teaching, communication, and outreach. I cannot tell you how fun this is.
Fun notwithstanding, the extensive "to do" list at the beginning of the semester is threatening to rise up against me, hence the crazies. Nothing serious of course, just the realization that the past 4 or 5 hours of my life have been spent sending emails pertaining to about 3 or 4 different activities. Once this tidal wave of organization has passed me by, life should return to its normal hum.
Until then, I have a better understanding of how my kitten feels when he's racing up and down the hallways with his back arched, ears pinned back, and eyes fully dilated. He is the ultimate personification of the crazies. Currently, this may actually result in a kamikaze kitten attack to the back of my desk chair from the top of the bookshelf. If that happens, I think I may join him in his running.
