Didn't finish before class yesterday so had to stay up late to prep for today's defense. Now I feel terrible but also awesome because the thesis is soooo good. It's a privilege to work with such sharp students! Loving my job this morning ❤️ #WorthIt #WhatProfessorsDo
Up at 5:30. Planned my schedule this week, did about 30 min research work, answered some emails, exercise, breakfast. Now I have 1 class and 2 honors thesis defenses to prep for before 2:30. #WhatProfessorsDo
Congratulations! Also, I went looking for the hashtag #WhatProfessorsDo and found your account. Can we make this a thing? With everything going on, it feels like we're fighting for the survival of higher education, and a significant portion of the electorate doesn't seem to understand what we offer.
I'm equal parts heartbroken and incandescent with rage at what is happening generally in this country, and specifically with respect to education. It seems painfully clear that many voters do not understand what we do or why it's important. Can we show them #WhatProfessorsDo ?
Letters of rec submitted! I also made some soup for dinner. Pretty soon, I’ll go watch TV- busy week ahead! #WhatProfessorsDo #workend
