Between yesterday and this morning I spent 8 solid hours in my office, having conferences with my students. This on top of the fact that Mondays and Tuesdays are the days when my own classes are scheduled, so that means a lot of time on campus, no time for my own work, and a lot of time grading late at night because the days were filled with classes or conferences.
Things went really well: my students and I got better introduced, and the whole dynamic of my class was quite different (and much improved) this morning. But am really tired and may need a nap before diving into my own work this afternoon.
