How quickly time is going. Less than a month to graduation. I have 2 more classes to teach and the final.
This week was extremely busy. I had 2 homeworks to grade and a five page paper. Then I had to prepare for class.
In some ways I really enjoyed class. Of course I enjoy working with the students. However I have the opportunity to do that as Dean as well. I love when I read their assignments and I get to know them better or I see that they understand things. This last batch of papers was on the Keirsey Temperament Sorter. They were to report on their temperament (or personality) type according to the book. Artisans, Idealists, Guardians or Rationals. Then they were to give me insight into their lives to show me how the test either accurately portrayed them or ways that the test seemed to not quite fit them. Some of the papers were excellent and I was very excited.
Unfortunately being and Dean and trying to teach - I feel that both jobs were not done as well as I would have liked. There was never enough time in the day - and even on my "day off" I was often found preparing for class or grading. I am so ready to be done and to get some rest. I am glad the end is in sight. Next semester I will not be teaching - I will be glad just to have time to hang out with the students more.
