It is that time of year again.  August. When EVERYONE from instructors, to staff, to students rushes to make sure they are all ready for the big day.  Fortunately, this year I had the foresight to plan some time off between the end of the summer tutoring program and the beginning of the regular school year.  Not too much time Friday – Tuesday, I like getting five days off, but only using three vacation days.  (What? You all knew I was sneaky like that!)
