Done.



Last night I finished up the last little detail work pertaining to the Fall 2007 semester. I am very happy, very relieved to have all that work behind me. The brunt of the work was writing. When I got back from Thanksgiving break, I added up the average page requirements for each assignment so that I would know how to pace myself. It came to 63 pages, which made for three solid weeks of not-one-minute-to-lose.

Now I am done. Done with all the meetings and the finals and the Social Justice Chapter events and the writing. Out of curiosity, I tallied up all that I had actually written:

82 pages (12 point font, double spaced, 1 inch margins, page breaks omitted).

Handel used the same time frame to write The Messiah, which fills 252 pages with just the vocal and piano parts, just to put it all in perspective.
