Tonight is the last meeting of my graduate seminar. I agreed to teach this as an overload course for extra $$ and to help out our department. The upside: the $$ and the very interesting conversations. The down side: I'm really tired and want to sleep for the next 9 weeks.
All 4 of my classes have been significantly above average for the level. On the other hand, teaching 4 classes--each a different prep and each a course I've never taught before (!), is hard. I mean, this ain't real work like my dad toiling in the plywood mills for 40 years. But..
Note to self: Don't teach 4 new courses in the same semester ever again. My writing has come to a complete halt since August. Total and complete zero. On the other hand, think of all the young minds I've been able to brainwash with leftist propaganda.
I always wanted to be profiled by the American Legion. 
I did take over our US Foreign Policy history course. Lord, is this fun to teach. Hey kids, let's talk about the US in Guatemala is something I could do forever. Plus, I can tell weird traveling stories.
