My friend Lisa met me for lunch today and asked me, "How are things?"
I replied, "Oh, things are fine. There are just so many of them."
And that's the truth. There are just so many things these days. Loads of things.
I am beaving along, though, knocking through the things one by one. If I owe you an email, you will get one eventually. If I owe you a work package, you'll get that too. If you are my house, I'm afraid you're going to have to wait a couple more weeks. If you are the dust bunny living under my bed, the ever expanding spider family working on the eleventh renovation to your loft-area web, or the luxurious weeds growing rampantly in my front, side, or back flower bed, that means you have a reprieve.
If any of you are ahead of me on the spring cleaning schedule, we are about two weeks away from the
Second Annual Erin Buenger Memorial Scholarship Fund

yes, yes. end of the semester. i'm TA-ing in a class of just 9 amazing people, and i don't know how y'all do it with 30 students. (I'm a volunteer TA, I need the experience, and this was in science ed. I hope to advertise myself as an instructional technologist with experience in science ed). How do you give the 30 students, or 2 classes of 30, the attention they deserve? Plus, what about research, and we pesky doc students??? *whew* i actually do want to go into academia - i love research and mentoring - but the time it takes.. well, you know.
ReplyDeletehang in there, count down the days. if i could help you grade - i would. i only have a dissertation to work on and 9 students to TA for. oh yeah, and that paper to get into submission quality, and that other paper that's been sitting out there, and irb to get for a few studies.. oh yeah, and my 10 hour a week job.
i really do not know how you do it. i guess one learns.
until i get the chance to learn (God willing I do) I *bow* in reverence to your ability to do it all Dr. Buenger. :)
What an awesome event (and scholarship!) in honor of Erin.
