Ends of semesters are different now for me than they were even, say, five years ago. They are certainly different from what they were like for me as a student. It used to be that I would get about one month out from the end of the semester, and I would actually get a burst [...]

Good Lord, I feel like I’m dying. The good news is that thinking that, and then thinking of this song, made me think fondly of my dad, for this was a Dad Song, totes. The bad news is that, dude, I feel like I’m dying. This week has kicked my motherfucking ass. Why? Monday: [...]
It’s All in the Details…. Or Is It?

Ah, that’s better. I just crossed three things off of my to-do list. Much better. (See what I mean about stupid procrastination? How hard was that?) But so now that gives me time to write a post I’ve been thinking about for a while. Since my return from sabbatical, I’ve been struggling with this issue [...]

So, I had a pretty fabulous weekend, which involved just about no work. Friday I finally saw True Grit (AWESOME), Saturday I went to buy some more knitting supplies (I’m nearly done with scarf #1 but since I don’t know how to finish anything, I figured I needed to put it aside and start something [...]
Yet Another Milestone of Post-Sabbatical-ness

I’ve known since the start of the semester that sabbatical had a positive impact on my teaching. As I noted in the last post, my classes are amazing. Now, I don’t get credit for all of that. I have a great group of interested students – even in the two general education courses I’m teaching [...]
