As of tonight I have 7 pp of a very boring chapter. I am starting to get down in writing some of the wealth of material I have been given via e-mail, I have accessed their websites and written down facts. I do not have personal stories that add depth and emotion. That is what will make it a good chapter. I feel good to get started writing it, feel like I will turn something in on Friday, but feel very tired and stressed over not having a polished piece of work. Makes me realize how much I learned in my dissertation research that I never would have gained from reading their webpages.
And tonight I feel very, very tired. Started today waking up at 6, got up at 7, proctored 3 tests for our adjunct who was at a friend’s wedding today, at 9, 11 & 12, taught my own class at 1, didn’t have a minute to eat anything until 2:30. The lunch room doesn’t serve lunch after 1:30 (because they’re stupid) so I had a glorified chicken nugget sandwich and some more of the same old predictable and boring salad bar. Mmm, yucky food. Oh well. Worked on the chapter the rest of the afternoon, gave a make up test, gave one early test, then gave the night class…….. a test. The last student took an hour & 1/2. Open book tests mean students take longer, and some still fail. Always amazes me.
