Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
5/18: better timing today
I'm teaching a 3-week summer-school session right now, and I haven't taught a summer-school course in over a decade. I'm a little rusty on how to prepare each day of summer class so that it's the equivalent of a full week of semester class meetings. For the past two nights I've been preparing later into the evening than is conducive to restful slumber, but today I managed to get a handle on things and I might be able to catch up a little on lost sleep (plus have time to sweep the floor before I go to bed).
Uh, summer school in the middle of May?? Does the semester begin in July?
ReplyDeleteI know, Barbara; it's a little crazy. We finished the semester on Friday, and the college is squeezing in a 3-week term right away--the hope is that the quick turn-around will still give students plenty of time to find summer jobs and earn money (or do other summery things) before we begin again in the fall.
