It definitely is. I think maybe a little different, and less defeating, but I still see it more so than any other semester for sure.

I agree. There's been an interesting, to say the least, shift in engagement where there is little interest in really connecting with the real world. I'm sure it's a coping mechanism, but 💯 terrifying.

I agree—it's all enough. I have a new class I'm supposed to be teaching in the fall, but need to prep still+ teaching 4 classes this summer, too. I want to get my AERA conference proposal in, too.

Best of luck! The juggle is a lot. But I hope you find time to breathe & relax, also.
