March Update

Still not too much to report here.  We're super busy at work because in addition to all the usual stuff, this is recruiting season.  Saturday I had to go to Sacramento for a recruiting event, and this weekend we have another event on campus. 

I think that teaching is making me old.  Lately I've had to give my students lectures on coming to class on time and how it is inappropriate to make cell phone calls from class.  I actually threatened to give one of my classes a quiz on how to tell time since I figured that was the only reason so many of them would be chronically late.  Oh well, I guess we all get old and cranky eventually, I think it must be genetic :)  Of course, I will never be as old as Jeremy who turns 35 in a couple of weeks.  Yikes! 

My spring break is coming up in a couple of weeks and I think that I am way more excited for spring break as a faculty member than I ever was as a student.  My exciting plans involve sleeping and getting caught up on my grading.  I'm also trying to get an appointment to go to the dentist for the first time in a few years, so that may end up being exciting, but probably not in a good way.

  1. Damn, I'm glad I'm not one of your students! How mean do you have to be to not allow making phone calls during class. Just another example of the establishment keeping the masses down! Anyhow, good for you. I can imagine that some of your students were shocked by that request.
