End of Sabbtical

One year sabbatical finally comes to the end. It was good to have free time to do things that I planned to go during past years. In this half year period, I finished some important things. I would like to mention as follows: 
  1.  Went to the States to collect research data and visit old friends. 
  2.  Took 2 computer classes to update Photoshop and HTML&CSS skills. 
  3.  Wrote an journal article (accepted). 
  4.  Wrote a book chapter. 
  5.  Finished two research reports. 
  6. Attended a virtual conference (6th International Conference on New Trends in Teaching and Education, Brussels, Belgium | 26 - 28 May 2023). 
  7.  Participated in two days ChatGPT and AI workshop(16 hours). 
  8.  Left eye PTK surgery. 
  9.  Travel to Japan with two kids (group tour).                                                                                          In addition, I spent more time to arrange after-school classes for my kids. My daughter started to get Orthodontic treatment. Hope things will go well for me when the new semester begins.
