The Push; Whew [teaching]
Feb. 11th, 2021 12:57 pmSo yeah.
Our spring semester starts up on February 22. Eleven days from now. Not enough time. It's never enough time. Got to get ready for the plate-spinning.
There are so many moving pieces to juggle in getting ready, and apparently my brain has decided it wants to shorten the list of things that need to get set up, so it insisted we work on setting things up this morning.
So I now have the initial course pages revised and published for all four of my courses. I also got my office hours scheduled and set up my Zoom office hours link. Each course also has its own standing Zoom link, too. A couple of the courses are intended to be in person, but I wanted to have everything set up already in the event that we need to use Zoom at any point. You never know.
I still need to finalize two of my syllabi, but I have to go in to campus and use some files on my work computer for that.
Maybe now that I've made this progress I can get that anxious side of my brain to calm down enough so I can work on some slightly more thoughtful tasks, like manuscript-writing and (small) grant-writing.
Thankfully the morning's low-grade fever hasn't gotten any worse.
