Well, the first week of summer session has begun and the mania was over the top. On Tuedday I dont think I even sat down at my desk. Today I got home about 7. Still, it is fun to be busy, not to put out fires, but needed. I am teaching a content area literacy class (5 dropped and 2 cried after seeing the syllabus). It is a lot of work and I do believe that our students are not used to working hard, especially in the summer. One student came and asked me if there was anyone else who taught the course. I had to say, "Nope. It is me now, later, or later!" He didnt think it was so funny. I did. It is hard for them to understand why in my class the expectations are so high, but in another, there are 4 tests, all multiple choice, one a week. I just cant let the expectations drop because they are going to be teachers, even if I have to grade it all!! Seriously! Some professors dont have an issue; I do.
Also fun is that I have finally finished and uploaded my book club article. That is one down. 4 more to go.
