We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth. (Mary Antin)

summer holiday...

...is gone. Today I officially start work at Bluefield State College. Today is a faculty inservice day. I hope it helps me get my feet under me. Classes start Monday, which is good and bad: good because I have until Monday to prepare, bad because I have ONLY until Monday to prepare. I was hoping that moving here a month before classes started would give me plenty of time for preparation--and it did, in theory. It's just one of those things where there is always tomorrow, until there isn't. Well, wish me luck.
