Transition to Spring Semester 2012

The new semester starts this week. I'm thinking about transitioning between my break un-schedule and my work schedule.

Transitions are awkward. The space between 2 "unrelated" things needs to be bridged somehow.

If you spend the time to build the bridge, then the transition can be smoother. It depends, of course, on the materials used to build the bridge and the plans for the bridge.

Sometimes you see a new, modern bridge built next to an old bridge. The older one served its purpose at the time.

Unless you are an engineer, your bridge is probably not amazing right off the bat. (even then, Tacoma Narrows anyone?)

Any bridge is better than no bridge.

My bridge is the week before classes. I'm playing with some structured work time, extra non-work time, and lots of time to process.
