Why did I EVER agree to do an independent study on medieval philosophy during the summer? What psychotropic substance was possessing my brain? Where the hell are my notes on Al-Farabi?

(update: Found the notes. What do they mean? I understood them when I wrote them...)

And why did I give my sci-fi class a difficult long-answer essay test last week? Do I still feel I have to prove to somebody that this is "real" philosophy? Haven't I won this argument with myself before? Didn't I realize I'd have to FRICKIN' GRADE it???!!!! I've graded TWO intro tests in the time it's taken me to even get up the courage to look at this humongous pile of, um, writing....

And don't get me started on the fact that I agreed to teach two classes next summer session too. Vacation? What's that?

::whimper:: I'm done yelling now. Can I have a hug?

Big hugs, darlin. This is part of what I don't miss about academia.

I'm still glad to be here - I've decided the joys still outweigh the misery - but I appreciate the sympathy from someone who's been there! :-)

Your enthusiasm and love for knowledge and teaching knows no bounds. This is your joy and your punishment.

Very perceptive - I appreciate the insight. And the hugs.

Many hugs. And when it's over, you can convert more of the SF class to intelligent SF. Then Rat Patrol.

DId you see "Kingdom of Heaven?" What'd you think?

LOL! What a great idea!

No, I haven't seen it - it sounds intriguing, though. So far this year I've seen ROTS and Howl's Moving Castle.
