The hard part of the semester is over. All that remains is the grading and the joy of telling students how well they did. Of course, that also leaves space for telling them how poorly they achieved. This has been a mixed semester with some good and some bad. What I can say above all else about the semester is that I didn’t do it well enough. I did not give the students what I believe is the maximum of my abilities. In short, I could’ve been better.
The plan is to do less. The plan is to shift gears and focus on the writing and to make the classes I do wind up teaching be the best experience I can possibly offer to students.
Some Thoughts:
- Not really sure where things stand with health and diet. I’ve seen better days with both to be sure, but I have also seen worse. I’m moving towards a lifestyle where my health is pushed in a better direction–both physically and mentally.
- I also want to write better stuff.
