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).

I'm not gonna

I actually did more after class than I intended. My plan was to walk into the office, log on to the blog just long enough to say "I'm done; I'm out of here," and leave--not unpack the pack, not organize stacks of shit that needs to be done, nothing. But I did want to check e-mail briefly, and I realized I had promised letters of recommendation to a student--and that if I didn't get them done now, I'd forget, or miss the deadlines. So I did that. And now, I'm going to leave everything where it is, except my purse and the bag I carry my lunch in, which will come to the car with me. And I'm going home. I have an ungodly shitload of paper grading/assignment marking to do--I tried to get some done in Advisement today, and it was painfully slow. It shouldn't be; I'm not marking much (really, I'm not), but for some reason it was just like crawling across a field of sharp pebbles. I may come to the office on Friday; whatever I do, I MUST get papers marked this weekend. I won't get much done tomorrow, because students want to meet with me and we have a department meeting--and I'm racing out of here after class to meet a friend for a social evening. But tonight, I'm done. I'm just done. So I'm not gonna do another damned thing having to do with work.
