Happy New Year, all! Today seems like a good day to dust off this blogging device and surface for a bit. I am basically spending January working and sleeping, and today's list of things to do is pretty indicative of how my January days go:

- sleep 10 hours.
- work on the hospital website consulting project.
- work on syllabus to be used for the Spring semester.
- work on professional development materials for high school teachers - also a consulting project.
- work on job applications for the Fall.
- work on my dissertation introduction.
- do some housework.
- do something fun in the evening. Yesterday it was Make Dinner; tonight it is See a Movie.
- sleep for 10 hours again.

I'll leave hibernate mode in February, by which I mean that I'll be actively teaching three sections while continuing to write/revise my dissertation, work on two paid consulting projects, and apply to jobs. I'll also be auditing a grad class and participating in a task force on the role of Humanities in General Education. And that's all just February. Later this semester, I'll be turning in my dissertation for realsies and delivering papers at two conferences.

So I think my time should really open up in May. Hey, anybody free in May?
