I really really enjoy the fact that, as long as I'm not teaching, I can take off from work in the middle of the day and do whatever I want without worrying about a boss coming to check on me. Of course doing whatever I want is usually limited to writing proposals/papers in a cafe or at home in my pajamas, but still it's these little things in life that make it better. And I'm really, really looking forward to the semester ending to get a few weeks without undergrads constantly judging me and committee meetings. I'll save my rantings about judgemental self-centered undergrads for another post.
I totally agree with you!! The final exam weeks is on at my university and I am enjoying myself so much on finishing up writing manuscripts and preparing the next proposal, without any students pop-out at the door!!!
