I’m a Plant

Wanna know something crazy? I just discovered that the Fall semester starts on August 19 instead of on August 26, as I was sure it did. This means I have to start teaching 5 days a week (this weird schedule was created because I will be on maternity leave most of the semester) in just two weeks.

Wanna know something even more crazy? I feel happy and energized about the idea. If you saw how I walk like a duck, hauling that enormous belly on me, you would agree this reaction is not normal.

I’m totally like that teaching plant I told you about exactly one year ago.

  1. I can fully relate to your feeling. The last month of pregnancy is the most trying and you just want to be done with it, so being busy with things that are non-pregnancy related is actually very welcome. I was borderline depressed when I was forced to go on mat leave one week before my scheduled C-section.
