What, two posts in one day? Why am I doing this?
Sometimes when I am doing “massive” grading, I take a break and make something good to eat. I LOVE to bake. It somehow has become a hobby of mine. Some might think making a pie is work. For me it is a labor of love and actually relaxing. Today it is a peach cobbler made with peaches I froze last year. Quick and easy. I can whip it up and wait for 40 minutes (go back to grading), then have something delectable when it is finished baking.
One of the joys of teaching online is the flexible schedule. I can work any time of day or evening, just like my students. I take frequent breaks from sitting in front of a computer screen. Sometimes it is watering plants. Other times it is going for a walk. Exercise does wonders for my attitude. I can go back to work refreshed and ready for the next challenge!
So, today I needed to be refreshed and this cobbler was just the ticket!
I definitely agree about the flexible schedule being one of the best parts of our job. Sometimes, I work well beyond 40 hours in a week, but I love having the ability to decide when and where I'll work on any given day.
