I wanted to apologize for being so sporadic with posting the last week or so. To be honest, I have just not been in the mood to put in the effort to do the posting. A lot of it comes down to the fact that I have been really feeling a bit burned out the past couple of weeks.

I have been struggling a bit with the class. Some of it is the fact that I hit a bit of a hump where I have a lot of grading to do combined with a run of lectures to keep up on. I am also a little frustrated with how the participation in the class is not going as well as I prefer.

Combined with that, I seem to be falling way behind at work, there is a lot I have to do for the Rhode Island Teen Book Award committee, and we are finalizing things with the library's Capital Campaign Committee. I just really need to have a bit of a vacation from all of my commitments.

In all reality, I know that things will get better in a short while, but something had to give, and my blog seemed to have the lowest priority. You would think that it would have the greatest priority because it is such a great way to vent my problems, but it just seemed to be more than I had the energy to do. Combine it with the fact that I had to dedicate a lot of my usual blogging time to my class, and I just folded.

I am hoping to get back into the routine before I turn into a social hermit. Cross your fingers.
