Books are my love language 📚
How to grade an essay:
1. Read it. Have thoughts.
2. Check out cited sources…
3. Fall down rabbit hole of 90s era obscure Swiss journal, maybe relevant to own research?
4. Buy 3 used books found in step 3
5. Look at bank account
6. Weep
7. Give grade according to rubric
8. Repeat?!?

Love reading the essays my students turn in, haaaaate actually giving grades. So reductive.

Someday I might have a printer that is not possessed by the world’s laziest ghost.

Baby, five minutes before bedtime: I am the most tired baby ever! I must sleep posthaste!
Baby, five minutes after bedtime: I am the most awake baby ever! I shall never sleep again!

Sometimes feeding the baby is a sleepy cuddle, marveling at her perfect, tiny features. And sometimes it’s like wrestling a hangry, flatulent alligator, with very sharp claws.
