There and Not

Sigh... well I'm done for the quarter... NOT! Officially joining DiDi and everyone else who has protested professors who ignore academic calenders and just plow right on past the last week. I have two in that boat this time around, so I now have two take home finals to do this coming week. And this is KINDNESS mind you, because after screwing up and not giving us what we needed to complete the work in the time alloted, these instructors have been soft-hearted enough to give us another two weeks to complete our newly adjusted assignments. FUCK THAT!!!

I wanted to do them this weekend, but AR wants to go hiking tomorrow, I work Sunday, practicum Monday and Tuesday and then I am working again Wed and probably Thursday. There's no way I'll rain on AR's parade; I can't even remember the last time we went anywhere together, that's how much my school has overshadowed our marriage. =( So maybe next weekend... GAH!!!

On a happier note, the Chair of the MFT program at my university has asked me if I want to teach some masters classes. WAHOO!!! I had asked around about the possibility, but every time I stopped by her office she was out, and I thought she'd be the prof for our 'teaching psychology' class next term, so figured I'd ask her then. Turns out she's NOT teaching it, but she heard from several people that I was interested and that I was tutoring and very well liked, so she just handed me a list of classes and told me to check which ones I might like to teach! Seems the ones I'm most interested in are exactly the ones she is having trouble finding good instructors for. How perfect is that? I guess some of the MA people are not so on fire about testing and assessment since they don't envision themselves doing much of it. We tentatively agreed that I would start with the clinical skills course, which is a testing overview, next winter. How the f... I am going to squeeze that into my every expanding schedule I don't know, but I will. There is no WAY I am going to pass up the opportunity to work as a PAID adjunct professor in a masters level program when it falls in my lap.

Jeeoy!!
