Today is my last day at the Writing Center. Because I want to concentrate on teaching and commit my energy to my students, I am moving on. The shift is bittersweet, but I'm excited. In one week, I will begin teaching Creative Writing, Advanced Creative Writing and English Composition at San Antonio College. A full load!
Going from one course a term to three is a big shift, and I'm nervous. This change is both exhilarating and frightening, and in my old age, I'm noticing that change has become more jarring, (it feels less necessary, less compulsive). It's so funny to think back to the days when I got nervous when I sat still for too long.

I'm having similar reactions to change, which I attributed to being tired all the time (but which came first, age or tiredness, I couldn't tell you!). Best wishes for the new endeavor!
