I made the 'mistake' of actually taking a proper break over Christmas, after a stupidly hard term, and just cannot get back to work now.
I came in to the office today in the hopes that the change of scenery, and being in the professional setting would help. But nope.
I've checked my emails, done some very basic module admin, but haven't started marking, haven't started work for my new module that begins in 2 weeks, and I was really excited about (I'm not really unorganised btw, short notice, short term, but heavily loaded appointment means I would only ever have had 2 weeks to plan before term started). I've been here since half 9, promised DH the house to himself all day, so I'll be here for a while yet.
I could be setting up my moodle pages as a low brain activity. But I'm not.
The marking needs to be done by the 10th Jan, I'm teaching two modules this term, one totally new and completely unplanned right now, and I have a load more marking coming in in week 1. So why am I staring at the walls/my phone like I have all the time in the world?!
Anyone else?
