Oi, jimminy-jibbets, is it almost frakkin' over???????

So, I know I haven't been saying much. Part of this has been complete, utter, unbelievable end-of-semester/MA-almost-finished overloaded/tired/burned out like, whoa. Add on assorted family drama, and a nasty fall for allergies, and it's a miracle I've hauled my butt out of the house the last few weeks.

Not much left, though - one last test (Friday), one final (Wednesday), a short paper (7 pages - oooh!) and a brief essay (due the 9th). Well, and major revisions to the MA From Hell™, but those I actually have some time for. Really, it's not quite as much as it sounds like.

So, provided I can claw my way through the next, say, 6 days, I think I'll make it. Promise to post all the gory details then. Right now, though, solo un po 'più italiano prima di andare a letto. Auguratemi buona velocità, buoni voti, e tanto sonno! Buona notte!

P.S. I had my new faculty orientation today! I are a professor now! *squee* *yawn* (Well, a tired professor, but still...)

P.P.S. Er, when the heck did it get go bloody cold in this house! WTF? *shivers*

PROFESSOR!

I KNOW! The end of the semester just snuck up on me and I have so much to do! Kinda freaking out and it's only my first semester as MA. Don't know what I'll do when I'm teaching *and* doing a full credit load (we do 1 semester of teacher training before being given a 2-2 workload for English 101).

Also, how did you get a professorship with only the MA? Community college? My college is firing all non-tenured positions. :(

Well, I think "professorship" might be over-dignifying it a bit - I have picked up a few adjunct classes. I am miles, light years even, from tenure! But it's a start! LOL

My hubby has been teaching 8 to 10 classes a semester for years (and working on his PhD o_0 ), and is only now getting ready to take comps in spring. As far as I am aware (in Humanities-type areas, like Lit, Philosophy, Humanities, even History, I think), the issue is course hours in the topic area you want to teach in, and a minimum of a MA/MS. (But accreditation may vary from field to field, of course.)

Congrats! And as to other stuff being nearly over-- YAY!

W00t! Shake your professorship, you've earned it!

*hugs*

Maybe it got colder outside and you need to turn the heat up. It was snowing outside last night. **hugs** Congrats on your Professorship! **hugs** You totally deserve and I know that you will be awesome. Just one question. Can I sit in for free and watch the fun some time? ^ ^

(The heat comes and goes, and I'm still learning all the warm and cold spots in the house....) LOL! Thanks! And sure, come one by - I'm teaching Modes of Contemporary Christianity to Bellarmine students - should be an interesting ride! LOL

So, what's the room number, building and time? I'll pop on over.
