If you went to the State Fair during “Prep Week” (that beloved week of meetings before the start of classes)
If you “skipped” those meetings and babysat your grandsons instead
If you didn’t update any syllabi or print off your class lists because you were revising a book chapter
If you didn’t straighten your office at college because you work at home now
If you were able to sharpen your grandson’s pencils for Kindergarten with your electric pencil sharpener, because every home office should have an electric pencil sharpener, right?
If you were still checking college email daily to see if you could still access it, and keep up with news
If you don’t miss the meetings so much, but do miss your colleagues and contact with students
If you see school supplies and still want to buy some, even if they’re for your grandson and nieces and nephews
If one of your favorite spots is still sitting at your home computer, where you used to grade and now write!
