Today is the day of the eve of the day of the eve of FRIDAY!! (Also known as "hump day", because today we reach the peak of the week, and it's all coasting after that!
@XanderHenderson :( But Friday will be good, right??? Or better?? Every teacher has to be a student, once in a while, though trainings can be particularly draining!
@amWhy The first season is hours and hours of a mathematical historian calling Galileo a dunce. I think it is pretty fantastic.
@amWhy I originally conceived it as a moving day, with a "last load day" next week. However, I don't that I want to drive another 1100 miles next week. I might try to make this trip the last one.
Fun fact: for at least the next year, I will be teaching at the second largest (in terms of geography) community college in the country.
@XanderHenderson Wow! In Wisconsin, we have 13 4+ year university of WI campuses, and 13 UW-Centers (two year institutions, with four of them offering hybrid four year degrees.
@XanderHenderson Will you be teaching at one location, or a few locations?
@XanderHenderson Wow, kind of sounds like the UWCenters colleges: UWC-Waukesha is about 250 miles from UWC-EauClaire
@XanderHenderson Glazed? Or Jelly? or a Cake donut? While you're at it, get me a Cruller.
@amWhy The thing is that one instructor might be expected to teach at any one of those locations on any given day, and will typically be teaching students at every location at one time.
@amWhy I am officially assigned to the Snowflake campus. I expect that, once things open up again, I will be doing most of my teaching from either Snowflake or Holbrook (which is where I will be living).
However, faculty are expected to check in at the other locations with some frequency.
@quid Yeah, I was craving a cruller (a wisconsin cruller) or an old fashioned donut. A bit mixed for me too. Gearing up for the fall semester... had a committee meeting, and a departmental meeting this morning.
@quid Committee meeting was video meeting, the departmental meeting I attended in person with half the department faculty, with the rest joining in via video. I wanted to work in my office a bit beforehand, so I was on campus anyway.
@sai-kartik I don't wish it to be archaic. I was acknowledging along with Xander about the current reality of COVID-19, which can sometimes make us yearn for "days of yore", and teaching on and studying on campus.
