Welcome fellow Commoners and congratulations!

We’ve made it to the end of the semester. Sometimes it feels like more of an accomplishment than other times, but it’s always a time to celebrate. The work we do each semester is incredibly fulfilling, at time maddening, and always worth while. I’ve enjoyed exploring the Commons and encouraging you to do the same. I’m planning on using the break to write a number of conference proposals (I mentioned this in my last post), visiting some archives, and preparing for my blogging and teaching in the next year!

Just because I’m taking a break from this blog doesn’t mean the Commons goes dark or I won’t be roaming through it. In fact, the winter break is one of the most productive times on the Commons. People hunker down and make all the updates they’ve wanted and launch the projects they’ve been pondering. Maybe you’ll be doing it, too.

I’ll see you in the new year fellow Commoners!

Best,

Paul
