Still very much alive September 16, 2008

Hmm… I was just wondering if I was about to add: “and kicking“, but I am not sure it accurately describes my current occupational hazards.
I guess it’s just the normal stuff for a lot of us: new students, new classroms, no sound coming out of the multi-media device when you most need it; regretting I ever asked my students to read Marcel Gauchet (gosh that gave me nightmares over the weekend!); and well, the general madness: meetings, greetings, grant submittings… Pfff.
But I’m doing good, you know. All in all, I would chose this over a semester with only one course to give, or even over vacation with nowhere to go.
I feel alive. And this year, people, I decided I would be exploding out of my “new prof“ shell. No more excuses, no more feeling insecure (well except maybe for the nightmares, haha). Maybe it’s time I start thinking that I’m actually good at what I do.
And actually, I think that will be a nice change.
Signing out for now,
Julietta
