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).

SNAFU

Apparently, I was more tired and distracted than I was aware yesterday, as the last six or seven of the essays I emailed to students didn't reveal my comments. I thought I was checking each one before I sent it, but obviously not.

So, as soon as I get home, I need to send them--and try to remember to put everything on a thumb drive to bring back to the office so I have it on this computer, not just at home.

I realized as I was grading today that a student had submitted his essay to Turnitin late; I thought he hadn't submitted it at all and was being grateful I didn't have to have it graded today--but oops. So, I graded that, on top of the ones I needed to grade for tomorrow's conferences.

I have no idea how I'm going to get the essays for Wednesday graded tomorrow. For one thing, I have to stop accepting them late--but even so, I don't know how I'll get through them. Especially as the lack of sleep from the past about week is starting to really take a toll on my attention and my stamina.

So, this is going to be a very brief post. I need to get home. I need to get those essays sent. I need to eat. I need to sleep.

And tomorrow will be whatever tomorrow is. I'll figure it out one way or another. Probably another. Oh god, shoot me now.
