Looks like I’m going to be teaching a full course load this semester. My classes at one of the schools started this week. I stopped by the other school (the community college) to pick up some things yesterday, and the department chair asked me if I’d be interested in another class.
It was tentatively given to me, pending enrollment. As of 5 minutes ago, it looks like it’s almost full. This means I’ll be teaching a total of four classes. Yes, I’m aware that’s a full course load for full-time professors.
This means Tuesdays will be hell for me. Class at one school from 12:40-3:30. Class at the other school from 4:30-8:30. Oh, and I have to have office hours too, of course. Thursdays are not quite so bad, as my evening class only meets on Tuesdays.
My classes at the new school are slightly smaller, which I like. They are also heavily populated by girls. I understand the ratio is 7-1. Those poor girls. 😉 OH! And in one of my classes? Four of them (out of 17) are named Christina. FOUR. Like I don’t have a hard enough time remembering their names…
I’ve been spending a lot of time the past couple of days taking care of little random things like setting up Blackboard for my classes and getting my email to download on my computer.
I’m still working on my syllabus for the other class.
Other than that…I attended a Save the Internet rally this afternoon. More at WNYmedia.net.
I really am so excited that Rand has me all set up to read your blog each day. I love the pictures and your writing. I will keep you in mind on your busy Tuesdays–Help!
I hope to see you Sunday?
You should read my blog, too, Mrs. Bellavia! 🙂
To LT—maybe my sweet Rand could give me your e-mail/blog address for me to read your blog as well. I will ask him on Sunday. You took a great photo with Rand and Erin. This has been a new and nice experience for me–especially writing comments.
Erin,
LT invited me to read her blog–which I found at the right of your blog site. I tried to write her a few comments but each one didn’t go thru. Tell her I am reading her blog. I see Rand’s and Debbie’s name there, as well . I will be spending all my time reading all these interesting writings from all of you –Wow!! Should I get a personal invite to read Randland–first?? MB
replied via email! 🙂
