Every semester - "this semester is going to be better! No more worrying 7d a week!"
During the semester - "well... There's always next semester 😑"
It's week 3 people. 3. 🤦♀️

This semester, I'm teaching Ursula K. LeGuin's short short story, "She Unnames Them."
I'm curious as to how my students will react.
And even if they have the critical thinking abilities to be able to identify the setting and main characters.

Now this is how we should handle requests for extensions on papers, tests, etc.

It occurred to me last night that all my students were now born after 2000. And here I am a being from another century trying to teach them. I must seem like a fossil or an alien to them.
(PS: Their music really does suck.)

I think I had a breakthrough with the book proposal.

Upon reflection, the wise career move may have been to give up teaching and start a meth lab.

It must be August.
I just got an email from the Dean’s Office that such and such a document needs to be signed before the end of business hours today. Of course, I won’t be at my computer until late tonight.
The semester is nigh. 🤦♂️

I woke up dreading the start of the fall semester (yes, I know it’s June). When I thought about it, I wasn’t dreading the classroom or the teaching or the students. I was/am dreading the bureaucratic bullshit: the metrics, the assessment, the committees, the overwhelming emails. All of that takes up way more time and energy than my actual job - hinders my performance in my actual job. Why did we fall so far from our core mission? #academia #academicchatter #academicmastodon #professorlife
