As I’ve mentioned [before](/olive_or_twist/), as of December 17, I’m outta here. Between now and then, however, there remain:
|
||
|
||
- Five weeks and three days.
|
||
- Ten teaching days.
|
||
- Seventeen class sessions.
|
||
- Four sessions of office hours.
|
||
- Five committee meetings.
|
||
- Five meetings with a program administrator.
|
||
- Four department dinners.
|
||
- One set of Ph.D. orals.
|
||
- One faculty forum.
|
||
- One faculty meeting.
|
||
- One graduate student conference.
|
||
- Two teaching workshops.
|
||
- Three curriculum revision meetings.
|
||
|
||
And what is for me the kicker:
|
||
|
||
- Eleven job candidate campus visits.
|
||
|
||
I only wish I were kidding.
|
||
|
||
Oh, yeah — and there’s going to be some grading up in there somewhere, of things including:
|
||
|
||
- Sixteen final drafts of shorter papers.
|
||
- Sixteen final paper proposals.
|
||
- Twenty-five rough drafts of final projects.
|
||
- Sixteen rough drafts of graduate term papers.
|
||
- Sixteen final papers.
|
||
- Twenty-five final projects.
|
||
- Sixteen final graduate term papers.
|
||
- One senior thesis draft.
|
||
- Two final senior theses.
|
||
|
||
It would be bad enough even if I weren’t sure that there are things that will be added to the list as time goes on.
