remote teaching
i read about someone who planned to teach a poetry class purely by physical correspondence as a response to not wanting to teach over zoom ever again, i should track that person down again and see how that worked out this semester
(i absolutely could not get away with a 100% no-computers approach to this class but even if i could do 50% no-computers i would be ecstatic)
teaching next summer
god, the last time i taught a whole class was in...2013? i've learned a lot since then. also, i cannot believe i got handed the reins for the classes that i did, with basically no oversight.
and, i never want to issue grades again, grading is the worst, who in the world even wants grades.
teaching next summer
next summer: might be teaching, remotely, a pre-college summer school for high school aged art students
feels real hard to think about next summer right now, but actually, this might be a fascinating experience, and i think i won't be as burnt out on remote teaching as some of my colleagues are, because i...haven't been teaching at all.
can't wait to think about how to get away with as little screen time as possible for these kids :)
canvas
it's so trivial but i get the weirdest tiny dopamine burst because canvas explodes confetti all over the page when i successfully turn in an assignment, i don't know if this is institution or class specific (like if an instructor has to enable it), it's so goofy and makes me roll my eyes every time but also smile a little???
okay i should just let myself enjoy the silly thing and move on.
can anyone get me https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctvdjrr2c (doi 10.2307/j.ctvdjrr2c)? my library has a physical copy but not online access, and i am trying very hard to not have to interact with the physical copy

personal rambling
i'm taking two classes this semester because last semester i was bored to tears when i got put on remote duty
i don't think i will take any classes next semester and instead allocate all that extra time to...anything else
i don't regret having coursework this semester, i'm just feeling wholly unfocused about it because This Whole Situation has put all my grad school planning on indefinite pause and i'm trying to reset what i want to commit myself to
