Day 2 (8/27 - Thur)

I don't teach on Tuesday or Thursdays this semester. "What?" most people who don't really know what professors do usually say when they find out this little detail. "You don't work on Tuesdays and Thursdays?" No...that's not what I said. I don't teach on those days. But I work! I work on lesson plans, grade things (thankfully no grading yet this early in the semester!), read books relating to upcoming course subjects, make trips to the library, work through backlogs of emails, host office hours and meet with students, make progress on researching and writing my own academic projects, upcoming journal articles, etc. And of course, eat lunch at SAGA, our friendly neighborhood campus dining hall! So, I do work on days like today. Most of it is flexible, though, and I choose how I spend it, which is a blessing most people don't have, so I acknowledge the greatness of my job. So much variety, every day. In future posts, I'll describe some of these activities in more detail.

And here is where most of the magic all happens: Wyngarden 205.
