I have every emotion going back to class tomorrow. It's mostly anger. A little regret. A good bit of fear. So much sadness. Oh, and also guilt. Let's start with that one.
I have a job and it pays me money. For now. I am grateful for that. My job is also trying to kill me. That makes me angry, but then I feel guilty for being angry. Here are two areas.
1. I don't work in a grocery store. People who do get crap wages, work hard and have no choice but to be in contact with the public. Therefore, since I only have 400 minutes a week with undergraduates, it's not really that bad. Guilty.
2. Administration had to work hard all summer to create what, honestly, I believe is going to be a disaster for colleges. But they worked hard. I also worked hard all summer, unpaid, to try to make the most adaptable version of my courses. But I shouldn't devalue the heavy lift admins had. Guilty.
Ugh, what a mess.
Tomorrow, I spend 200 minutes face-to-face with young adults with undeveloped impulse control in a windowless basement computer lab that is small enough that with the 6-foot distance, one of them will have their back to me.
How's your semester going?
