What I did with my summer vacation!

Well, now that I am back at work, there are days that I just wish I was still on summer vacation. LOL I love my job, but summer is the best time to be a faculty member!

I did teach one summer class and I also did a little research project with a new instrument I was able to get via a grant from the NSF. It is called an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and it is really cool. I am working with someone in art and in history to study some old coins and art work. I had a great student named Katie that worked all summer to get us familiar with the instrument and its plusses and minuses.

But, once my summer semester was over, I took a few weeks off with my hubby and kids to go to the beach and hang out. But, now, my baby is back in daycare as of yesterday (boo hoo....I hope he doesn't get sick like he did last semester :-() and my older daughter starts the 5th grade on Thursday. It is our last year of elementary school.

Now that I am back I have tons of meetings to go to and syllabi for 3 classes to work out. I hope that everyone enjoys my classes this semester as much as I will enjoy teaching them.
