| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- vote like a motherfucker Two weeks until the election and I am an anxious mess. Maybe that's why I've felt like I've had the flu all day (no, it's not COVID-19). Listening to the War on Drugs, remembering the time we saw them at the TBD festival on a warm September afternoon, drinking beer and getting dusty because the festival organizers didn't know how to keep the dirt at bay. Simpler times. Half-way through the semester and I am exhausted and burned out. I have to figure out some different things for next semester. On the one hand, all my basic prep work will done but on the other hand my grading seems to have doubled this semester and, well, sheesh. Grading is my least favorite part of teaching. I told C. "asynchronous classes take away my favorite part of teaching--interacting with students in real time in the classroom and building on their energy--and replaces that with my least favorite part, tenfold. It's all the drudgery without the reward." But it's my reality at least through next semester and possibly through next fall as well, depending. Two weeks everybody. TWO WEEKS. Please vote like a motherfucker and, quite honestly, if you support 45 please stop reading this diary. 8:43 pm - 20.10.20
