I made it through last week; I can make it through this week. #endofsemester

Navigating neoliberal governmentality to find time for writing about neoliberal governmentality. #PhDLife #AcademicParent #AreWeThereYet #EndOfSemester #FuckingExhausted

Couple inches of #snow this morning. Now to get some #grading done. #nearlythere #endofsemester

Finishing my last bit of grading this morning and then I'll be celebrating by re-watching Willow 😄

For those doing #EndOfSemester grading or tidying in need of a soundtrack, check out Nathan Salsburg's "Landwerk" series. These include quiet, long pieces that fold #AmericanPrimitivism / #Fingerpicking and #FieldRecordings / #FoundSounds together to entrancing, enchanting effect. The result is meditative; you can either sink into or it or let it sit in the background, depending on where you're at.

Landwerk no. 3 is the latest volume; opening track is linked. #Music

Working on my #EndOfSemester vibe. Got grading to do… but… Can’t decide if I want to take on the day following his lead:

Calm, cool, and collected behind the aviators

Or hers:

The dance moves, the attitude and the dress.

"You know you have a Covid kid when they administer their own Covid test" my husband, observing our kiddo who spiked a fever last night. (negative, no fever this morning) #sickkids #EndOfSemester

It must be reaching the end of the semester. I fell asleep sitting up on my couch…

I think we're going about this #ai thing the wrong way... What if it could write me a grant? 😆 Or a really cool #OER? 😮Or my lesson plans? 😬 #JustSayin #IAmSoTired #EndOfSemester

Last Citizen Nation lecture today: the current state of the American immigration system. In 75 minutes. I must be crazy.

Last week of class of the semester.
And man…am I tired.

So, LETS GO! We can do it. (I mean, we have to, but still!…)

Ah yes, the week before finals... or when students whose names you barely recognize from the gradebook - and you could not pick out of a crowd - suddenly appear in your inbox, with many incredible tales of the many adventures that kept them from physically attending class or completing the work. "Hello Professor, I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if..."

Every now and then I remember to look up, release a sigh fit for the soundtrack of an easy exorcism, and begin a philosophical disagreement with my kitchen ceiling.

I am a terrible report-writer. I agonise for hours over minor turns of phrase that just do not matter, and I get really stressed about them.

On the plus side, I have now written all my reports!
On the minus side, I am burned out and exhausted and still have to proofread a bunch of my colleagues' reports!

Because I *volunteered* to do that.
Because I am a chump :(

Just taught my last class for the whole academic year – a Criminology Masters module that's a joy to teach. Stirling University Masters students doing themselves and ourselves proud!

I have that precious thing called research leave in January. A long time coming. Feeling tired relief and excitement.

I may have started the day with a shower of broken glass on another 12+ hour workday but my overnight #sourdough #bagels are on point #EndofSemester #StressBaking

Our university is giving away free “emotional support plants” to students through the end of the semester. Love this idea! Also, tho, what about faculty 😂✋🪴 #studentwellness #studentsupport #endofsemester
