Around 120 000 words or more. That is what I have written about libraries, records and archives in the last 26 week marathon. So, while more blogjune posts will be about that, I am waiting a while for the well to refill.

I have been responsible for course material for three 10-week postgraduate courses, delivering one in Study Period One, a two week break, then two in Study Period Two. I totally rewrote one, 85% rewrote another and shuffled and edited the third, but only wrote about 10% new topic material. If I was doing traditional one hour lectures, that would be about 8000 words per session, making it about 160 000 words for the three courses.

My next project is to add multimedia and movie lectures to each Module, but this delivery I just got the content down in place. It looks like a wall of words at the moment, partly due to the standardised template we use. Partly because that is what a dense explanatory summary, so you do not have to research it yourself, looks like.

So – this is my second weekend off since start of December, including Christmas and Easter. The first was the weekend before last. I see many more in my future. I hope, all of them.

I am spending this afternoon at a three hour Zumba marathon. Just can’t get enough of marathons, obviously.

(I don’t get sponsored, but if anyone is after excellent Zumba sneakers, I can highly recommend these that I order online. They cost the same as regular sports shoes, the company designs for women’s bodies exclusively, and they have pivots underneath the ball of the foot, so that when your body spins, your knees do too.)

Planting rainbows, dancing with rainbow feet.
