The first week grind

I always expect the first week of the semester to be pretty easy and slow: professors go over syllabi and set expectations, and there aren’t big papers or tests.  I am always wrong. Time blocks fill up with one-time meetings: a preseason check-in with my coaches, a lecture by a candidate for a tenure-track education professorship, a one-on-one with Career…

The Countdown Begins

Hello blog, and happy Monday!    It was a beautiful spring day in Massachusetts today, and while I spent most of it inside at the Computing Help Desk in Clapp Library, I have managed to get outside quite a bit in the past week.

Personally, I think every weekend…
