I got
really stressed out several weeks ago.
Basically,
the class that I have to take as unpaid job training in order to teach next
year eats up a *ton* of time:
- Tues.
and Thurs. afternoon meetings.
-
reading through handouts after class b/c much was skipped.
-
decently intensive assignments due posted online in between each class (Wed.,
Mon.), the instructions of which often go to 4-5pp. single-spaced.
- bad
posting, where the instructors post late evening sometimes for a next-day
deadline (since they assume everyone has an iPhone or internet at home?).
I had
hoped to limit the work to Tuesday or Thursday and block out at least 2 days
the rest of the week to work 4-6 hours on articles and dissertation, but the
work creeps into Wednesday and Friday and between that and other stuff the
class chops up my *entire* week.
So, essentially,
I won’t be able to work on articles or my dissertation for 6 weeks, or only for
very frustrating 1-2 hour chunks, where you barely get going and then you have
to set everything aside.
What a
shitty school I go to – they really fuck their students.
