It's not really the end of the summer. It's the last week of summer vacation before classes start for the new school year. Well, it's not really summer vacation, either.
When I tell people that I teach in the summer months, most assume that I'm on vacation. I don't have classes to teach, but I am teaching students in my research lab. Summer is when I get most of my research work done, and I've always had at least two students every summer in the lab.
This has been a crazy busy summer, but one that has been quite productive. I did manage to take a few days off and spent them wisely with Bun Bun and Bun Bun's Daddy. Some days, I just "worked from home" to savor the moments with Baby Bunny.
So, on Monday, classes will start. I will be teaching two classes again - the Freshman Cells (Introductory Biology) class and the upper level Immunology class. The Immunology class has a weekly lab, too. I missed teaching them last fall with the arrival of Baby Bunny. Hopefully, it'll just be like riding a bike. I will see some returning students and meet the first year students. I always liked the start of the fall semester more than the spring.
