Sidetracked & Sideswiped
I’m a week into returning to school and am already in trouble. I let my focus fall by the wayside. I can make it up through the rest of the semester, as we can have the lowest graded assignment dropped, but it means that I’ve officially used up my Get Out of Jail free card.

Maybe I’ve just reached the age where I...
