Long days
Tuesdays are the longest days, when I feel like my brain is at the peak of fried-ness. In the mornings I get to campus at 7:30, have office hours from 9-noon, then TA for the psychology class from 12:30 until two. Sometimes - like today - I spend the hours between 2 and 4 scanning surveys for students in the course, and from 4pm all the way until 9:40 I’m in my own classes. I enjoy the classes I have tonight, but in the mornings, at least, I feel horribly burnt-out, like I’m not sure I can make it through the day.
One of the other students in the program had an occasionable habit of taking naps on the office floor. I’ve given it some thought, but I’m a) terrified that I’d just sleep through class, and b) pretty sure that if someone walked in on me napping, they’d think I’ve finally officially moved in here. Which, really, won’t happen for at least two or three more weeks (when papers start to be due). Still, the carpet does look mighty enticing…

The criticisms of my students would serve as a good warning to visitors of Seeworthy: she talks too fast, she's too hard on us, she assigns too much work, and you have to be a dyke to get a good grade.
In other words, I'm a big, fat, queer, feminist meanie, and I am totally out to get you. Graaagh!
