the semester that does not end

This semester has been a roller coaster for me.

1) I had to do a new prep for a course which sucked a lot of time. But I did enjoy teaching the course and hopefully would not have to do the new prep again.
2) I had family/personal issues which again sucked a lot of time.
3) Had 2 grants rejected. Wrote 2 new grants and submitted. In preperation of submitting atleast 2 more during the summers
4)The semester does not seem to end. Since it has been a bit tiring for me it seems that the time is moving slower.

But now that the family issues are a bit mellowed out; hopefully I will get more done and at last the semester will end. And the summers will begin where I will enjoy the heat and work.
