Somehow we have made it to the end of the semester. We might be limping across the finish line, but I'll take that as a win. I have learned some new skills this semester that I
never
thought I would need. Learning some new things outside my comfort zone is, at least, a silver lining. I suspect the same is true for many of you. Learning in the "usual" way may have gotten more challenging, but learning to learn in new ways is powerful.
I know many of your summer plans have been turned upside down. I don't want to sound like a cheap self-help book, but humor me ok? Look for new opportunities. If you can't find them, make them. Life is too short, and summers are too precious to let them waste away. A book you've thought about writing? A song you've thought about composing? A language you want to learn? An art project you've been looking for time to do? A code you want to write? A new job to try your hand at? An advanced astrophysics book you want to get your head around? Now is the time. I
know
how creative and motivated you are, and I can't wait to hear how you've taken advantage of this summer.
I had planned to only keep the
Quarantimes
running until the end of the semester. But, we keep hearing from many of you that these are one of the highlights of your weeks. Potential sucking-up aside, if you want it, we will try to keep it going (and yes, please do tell us, because it makes us feel warm and fuzzy).
But
, you have to send us material - if you haven't, you know who you are (and so do I :) ).
And
, we are going to dial it back to once a week.
Starting next week look for the
Quarantimes
in your inbox exclusively on Fridays!
Missing all of your faces,
-Kelsey
