THINGS HAVE CHANGED:

Since I am no longer a professor in the classroom, this blog is changing focus. (I may at some future date change platforms, too, but not yet). I am now (as of May 2019) playing around with the idea of using this blog as a place to talk about the struggles of writing creatively. Those of you who have been following (or dipping in periodically) know that I've already been doing a little of that, but now the change is official. I don't write every day--yet--so I won't post to the blog every day--yet. But please do check in from time to time, if you're interested in this new phase in my life.


Hi! And you are...?

I am interested to see the fluctuation in my readers--but I don't know who is reading the blog, how you found it, and why you find it interesting. I'd love to hear from you! Please feel free to use the "comment" box at the end of any particular post to let me know what brought you to this page--and what keeps you coming back for more (if you do).

Nothing much

It was a day.

Met with a couple of students; two wanted help with revising papers, one wanted to withdraw but couldn't come right out and say so for various reasons. Whatever. The two who wanted help left feeling better; the one who wanted to withdraw left knowing he'll get the W at the end of the semester.

Got some assignments marked. Got some P&B business done. Went to a committee meeting, contributed some useful stuff to the conversation (and language used in framing an e-mail), have a new assignment of work to be done. Shouldn't be too onerous, but it is one more goddamned thing to do.

And I'm not quite sure why all that took so long. I'm home now, but I really thought I'd be home earlier. Well, it's still an early day for me. And tomorrow will be a typically long Thursday--including meeting with a student at 6 p.m. who has already withdrawn from a course but wants to "bring to our attention" the problems she perceives with the professor she wants to complain about. Honestly, in this case, I know what happened, and she's as much in the wrong, if not more so, than the professor. But I'll hear her out anyway.

I didn't get a chance to eat lunch today, so early dinner, something on DVD and--please heaven--early to bed, too.
