Partly it’s this split-shift business, which takes some getting used to every time it comes up, but partly I think it’s just an extreme case of quarter-start raggedness. I have been spending more time than I thought I would be managing my lesson plans and determining the course of the course, as it were. Time to get this horse under control!
Yesterday, in addition to teaching and personal bidness and house stuff, I did take time for another reunion of sorts. Ritt and Bill C had come to town for a Mariner’s game, so I met up with them in Pioneer Square for get-together after far too long. For a time, we were the three musketeers of campus security, representing Big State, Private Liberal Arts, and Community colleges. Now, we’re all out of security or on our way. Bill has retired and Ritt has moved into general administration and may soon have no responsibility for public safety anymore. And let me tell ya, we all look a lot more relaxed. It was good to see them, if only for a short visit.
Today there’s more teaching, of course, and getting set to head to Portland for my class in the graphic novel. Off I go!

Tryin to get traction
Well, I got into town just fine Sunday night, and I have been chasing my tail since then! I was pretty tired when I got back, so not much happened before I was asleep Sunday night, and then I had to get up for a nine ay-em class on Monday. I got through class fine, but the hour-and-a-half seemed awfully long. The rest of the day was spent having lunch with Kris-10, catching up, running errands, and prepping for class, although we did go out to dinner on the Ridge, which was nice.
Today is my first split-shift day; I taught this morning at nine and will teach again tonight at six. I'm trying to figure out how to work the in-betweens. I'm sure I'll have enough time, it's just managing it that will present a bit of a challenge. I need to do some more prep for tomorrow, for example; and don't know if I should play first and then work or vice versa. Ah, decisions.
