School Me Saturday 5/4/24- party like the Mad Hatter is throwing a tea party

It has to be said. May the Fourth be with you.

That is the obligatory Star Wars reference. I am wearing one of my Star Wars tee shirts, the crystal fox from The Last Jedi.

However, that is neither here nor there.

Which is a typical Mad Hatter reference, I mean definitely something he would say.

And a very merry unBirthday to you. Remember, this was the song that the Mad Hatter and the March Hare sang to Alice at the tea party.

In this instance, I am referring to the end of the semester.

A very merry end of the semester to you.

You made it!

If you are not taking summer classes, this means you have a nice long break until Fall Semester begins in August. Use this time wisely.

I am not saying party like the Mad Hatter is throwing a tea party. However, do what you want to do. Read what you want to read. Watch what you want to watch. Gather with your friends and relax.

If you are an adult learner, take a breath. You probably have other responsibilities like family or work. It’s okay to let go of school for the summer. You’ve earned it.

Just don’t forget about the fall classes you signed up for.

Me, I’m going to hopefully take my preliminary exam and am definitely taking a Dissertation session. This means I will start working on the chapters of the Dissertation.

This is not a drill. This is the way I graduate in May of next year. Intentions mean a lot and I am putting that out into the universe.

But first! First I read.

For a week, maybe 2.
