Today is the middle of Spring Break at Oregon State University.

What did you do today that involved thinking evaluatively?

Did you decide to go to work?

Did you decide to go to the beach?

Did you decide you were sick?

Did you decide you would work in the yard/garden?

Did you decide to stop and smell the roses?

Deciding is making a decision (of which you have only three choices–decide to do it, decide not to do it , or decide not to decide). Making those decisions is thinking evaluatively. Perhaps you did all of them (although going to the beach in the rain isn’t my idea of a good time–even to “get away”)? What criteria did you use? What decisions did you make?

The new term starts Monday, March 30, 2015 at OSU; it is already the second half of the second semester at schools who are using a semester calendar. When I was an undergraduate, I wanted to do anything besides go to classes; the weather was so fine. I was a diligent student, however, for a while at least.

How did you spend the week of spring break? Evaluatively?
