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).

yikesyikesyikes

Very suddenly I'm in full "oh shit, I have too much to do when am I going to get it all done" mode. The trickle of student assignments coming in is starting to turn into a freshet (thank you, Ed), and there is P&B business, other committee work, my abstract (still a mess, though more words in the mess).... Plus much of the free time I'd usually have for marking stuff is going to the extra discussion sessions for my 102 students. And the increasing stream of students in Advisement (no real pauses today, except the break I took to eat my lunch). And two observations this week. And dance class. Yeesh.

Consequently, I won't have much time for blogging for a while. I had most of the remaining students back in class today; only one still among the absent, and I have at least heard from her, so I know she's OK and plans to return. Discussion was OK. We spent some time reconfiguring the assignment schedule--again--and ditching a mini-paper, moving the second big essay just a smidge.

I'm about to go to one of those discussion sessions, and immediately thereafter I have an observation, which won't end until about 8, by which time I'll want to head straight home. Tomorrow: study session, P&B, class, class, observation, back to back, no break. Wednesday: class, Advisement, study session, dance. Thursday... well, you get the idea.

Off I go. I'll take work down the hall with me, in case no one shows. Be interesting to see.
