I don’t need a break. Yet.
I just started the spring semester at work three weeks ago, and before that I had a three-week break. That’s the way it works in academia — we get decent breaks, but we don’t get to say when they’re going to be. No taking a week off in February to escape the snow.
So I’m pretty rested. I teach three classes in person (the fourth class is an internship) and I have intense teaching days on Tuesday and Thursday, but I don’t need a break from the routine yet.
By the time I get to Spring Break (early March), I will be more than ready for a break. More than ready.
