And son of a gun, here we are.

CU and I were talking yesterday, about how this time last year we were sort of in a rushed frenzy. You see, we seem to be in this routine now of going on vacation after Labor Day; more specifically, two days after Labor Day. It really is fantastic to have a three day weekend and then just a couple days of work before heading to…wherever. For us, it has been Hawaii.

This time last year though, things were rather chaotic. Work was in a state of…transition, shall we say…and entirely out of control. I had just started my second semester back into my MBA program and was still experiencing growing pains with that, as well. Now though…work is still work, but school is an entirely different matter. I am not on a single group project this semester, and have already completed all of this week’s required work for both of my classes. It’s amazing how quickly I can power through this school thing when I set my mind to it instead of, oh, procrastinating.

Anyway, things around here don’t seem frenzied at all. Is it possible that I might actually experience the relaxed vacation I’ve been building up in my head for the last six months? Is it possible that once the work day ends tomorrow, I might actually…wind down?
