free at last

I don't mean to sound like my teaching job is a prison, or even a chore. I like it very much. I also like the vacations. This summer will not be a vacation--I have far too much work to do--but at least my schedule will be generally free. And I can swim every day. I skipped much of the end-of-year ceremony (graduation, faculty party, senior boat-around-Manhattan trip) because I have a bit of an issue with these things, bad memories from my own such ceremonies. I also dislike saying goodbye, and to have to say goodbye to all those people would be exhausting. But of course I wish them well, and I will miss some of the students very much.
