In the last three weeks I’ve been a student again and all my horrible student habits resurfaced. For example, I have a paper due on Monday and I just started writing it this afternoon. It is over half done, but I will still have to rush to get it done tomorrow and printed. Meanwhile this means that in the last few days I outlined and revised the curriculum of one of my four preps come this fall, updated my CV and am blogging.

It’s a little fun and revealing being on the other side of the table in an inquiry and project based class. Of course, my instructors are nowhere near as demanding as I am and are much nicer to students. Sometimes they are actually okay with us if we don’t figure out everything for ourselves. And they are so much more protective that I would be when it comes to students making mistakes. My students do not have that luxury. My instructors are also probably not analyzing me nearly as much as I’m analyzing their every move.

Now that it’s way too late I have no reason to work on my paper so I should head to sleep. In the meantime, I have several pretty important things in the works right now. So, I’ll be updating at some point next week once a shipment gets to where it needs to go.
