Hmm…

…so I went to school and went to class and everything is fine.

It is just:

I am so scarred by teaching recalcitrant freshmen and having old-fashioned supervisors on my case about THEIR ideas of how freshmen should be served.

I am so tired of being so far away from everything.

I am so seriously interested in research and so seriously not interested in the service courses the discipline into which I have fallen has. I would rather give the big history lectures, the big anthropology lectures, the big sociology lectures, and so on, than teach these little skills-building courses.

That, of course, does not mean I do not like the students I meet.

Axé.
