With September comes anxiety. Stress over the impending–and seemingly endless–list of tasks that must be done before the students return. No matter the intentions, no matter the diligence of the preparations, a week before school starts, it feels like the tech office is about two weeks behind. Somehow, everything comes together and the year starts relatively smoothly. More or less.

This year, however, with the addition of a Technology Associate to the Tech Office, we are actually ahead of schedule. So for the first time, I’m not popping Prilosec like candy and praying for October to come. And I got to take some time off during the summer, too. Nifty.

I’ve been told the galleys for The Last Track will land in about two or three weeks. Galleys are exactly like the finished book, with the same layout and fonts, only with a plain cover. Instead of the sweet graphic, it’s ISBN, Title, Publish date, etc.

Kinda psyched about that.
