So checked out.

I'm so checked out of teaching right now.

Since I made the decision not to pursue any academic jobs, I just feel like I don't care anymore and like I'm going through the motions, though I still am pretty darn conscientious...  It's almost like I'm there and just want to get the class done and leave, and I'm almost certain it must show on my face, since I'm not good at hiding what I think.

I wonder if the freshmen notice.

I mentioned I wasn't pursuing any academic jobs to the prof I work with, and she said that it made sense and she's throwing in the towel and becoming a yoga teacher if nothing pans out after this post-doc.

"Academia's going the way of the dodo," she was like.
