Trying to Stay on Board

















Oh dear, I am so exhausted. I even went to teach a class at the wrong time today. This week has seemed an eternity and it’s only Wednesday. I’m sure I’ll get used to it, but the comparison is what’s killing me--in Turkey I taught only 13 hours a week. So now 28 hours is incredible to me. I know some of you may be thinking, well it’s not 40 hours. But this is 28 hours “performance” time, not including prepping, arriving early and staying after, grading, or any online student/bureaucratic stuff. OK, this is my last whining post, I promise.
This is a joggling board. I think it’s from the South. You sit on it and rock, and when lots of kids bounce at the same time, some fall off.
