Well, we're back to the Jersey Shore and I'm headed back to get ready for Spring semester on Tuesday. OCC classes start on Monday (1/25) but I have a lot of prep and I am also teaching one course for Kean University that starts on Thursday (1/21)
I am going to be extremely busy again this semester. I almost always change things from one semester to the next - I must be a perfectionist or a masochist - but I think this semester's "new" things are somewhat manageable...
1. Teaching "Women & American Politics" as a face-to-face course (I've only taught it online up till now)
2. Creating new quizzes for the first 7 chapters of my State & Local textbook
3. Using a new edition of my Federal Government textbook (there's not a lot of new material, but it may affect the quizzes I already have from last semester.)
4. Re-formatting the first 3 quizzes for my Federal Government, Intro to Pol Sci, and International Relations classes.
5. Teaching American Federal government as an online course (2 sections of 25 students each.)
6. Teaching my own course for Kean - up until now I've only taught the Political Science part (one class session) of the Praxis capstone course for their History department.
I am excited and know I will do just fine - if I can survive my own insecurities.
I also have to lose the 8 pounds I brought home from Utah (in addition to the 10-15 I had to lose before I left),

Sounds like you'll be plenty busy. I hope the stomach bug your family has had wasn't your preferred method of weight loss ;-).
