Karla whipped up this little diddy to wish her mom a good day on her first day of school in over 6 months…. yes, Karla thinks of her mother as a ‘hummingbird.’
At Cal Poly, professors are contracted — in general — to teach 3 of the 4 quarters a year. Laura always enjoyed teaching over the summer as it allowed us to travel in the spring for college graduations and track meets.
Laura took off Spring as usual then elected not to teach this past summer… which accounts for the 6 months off. Rough life?
Ah yes, the paychecks keep rolling in… which has my daughters convinced that being a college professor is the only way to go! Kristin and Karen were razzing their mother a bit as they have — let’s just say — very busy lives, too. The point wasn’t lost on the girls either, work hard in your youth and you may live to enjoy an easier life when you too are 54.
Sometimes it’s not how much money one makes that’s important… it’s how much time off one gets to do other valuable things… like wave at the neighbors as they go off to work. However, Laura did ‘invest’ her time well as she revised her “Discovering Biological Psychology” textbook for it’s second edition.
Have a good day, hun. I’ll keep the coffee warm for you.
