Confessions of a Young Professor: You Can't Always Get What You Want.
http://professorconfessions.blogspot.com/2008/10/you-cant-always-get-what-you-want.html
Thursday, October 2, 2008. You Can't Always Get What You Want. I'm going to take just half an hour to write something for CP before I dive into studying GRE math. A few disparate strands:. Class was a mess today. I under-prepared on purpose, because if I can't wean myself off of spending three, four, or even more hours than that prepping each class, I don't think I'll even be able to afford to teach next semester if I want to. As bad as you can! Of all the research that they've found, filtered through th...

http://professorconfessions.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2008. Like Grendel, I have a powerful mom. She saves my ass when I call her at 9:30 in the evening. "I've been trying to prepare class all day! I say "The entire day! And I still don't know what I'm going to do with them tomorrow! Okay," she says. "We can figure something out. What are they supposed to be working on? Saved my ass, she did. And she even sounded happy to be asked. Thursday, August 21, 2008. Before the first day of class, all faculty members receive an email from the dep...

Confessions of a Young Professor: Personality Test Fun on a Saturday
http://professorconfessions.blogspot.com/2008/10/blog-post.html
Saturday, October 18, 2008. Personality Test Fun on a Saturday. I am obsessed with personality tests, particularly the MBTI. It's a guilty pleasure but one that I'll cop to. I just took a version of the test that produced the lovely badge you now see at the bottom of this page. In so doing, I stumbled across a kind of hilarious page. Here's its take on the INFJ:. And here's the INFP, the other type I seem to get sometimes:. I searched for the description and found your blog. March 2, 2009 at 5:30 PM.

Confessions of a Young Professor: Sunday Morning
http://professorconfessions.blogspot.com/2008/10/sunday-morning.html
Sunday, October 5, 2008. I'm sitting around the house this morning, drinking my second cup of coffee, pajamas and cardigans and throw-blankets hanging off me like I was some kind of feudal lord. I feel stiff and slightly inflamed; I think I am fighting off a shadowy illness. I couldn't just be stiff from sitting and stressing, could I? I went to yoga on two consecutive days. Thursday and Friday. It's never enough. I don't know what else to say. The sky is very gray. It's been a gray week. Bitch, Ph.D.
