I’m a newer fan & Patreon supporter & definitely wish I had found you earlier in the term but I’m also really happy to have your content to keep me company while I chip away at my papers & finals studying. Thankfully it’s finally my last year! Thanks for always making me laugh & I am wishing you the best as you too wrap up the term <3

2021-12-01 04:27:35 +0000 UTCYeah, that's why having not even gone to university or college, I was interested to hear his perspective when it comes to the end of a semester. It's not something I would normally consider, besides just a basic idea of the teaching career. But the idea of student, which is where I would expect to find myself in that scenario, I would more immediately think of.

2021-12-01 04:26:26 +0000 UTCI tell you, I haven't taken to the time to think about how much work it is for the profs to grade 80 assignments. Its easy to get caught up in my own world.

2021-12-01 04:05:55 +0000 UTCI feel you, one accounting assignment due tomorrow and a paper due the day after

2021-12-01 04:05:48 +0000 UTCAwesome, pat yourself on your back all you want. You worked hard a deserve it.

2021-12-01 04:05:17 +0000 UTCI gotcha! Thanks for the insight. Makes sense. Lots of things, many jobs included, I suppose, sort of have their more 'busy season', or perhaps more crucial or critically important periods (not to undermine other time frames).

2021-12-01 03:51:40 +0000 UTCThree weeks left for me as well, but luckily I've already gotten through the hardest of my workload. Had a term paper for philosophy due a couple weeks ago that either makes or breaks our grade. Got grades back today and I somehow managed to be one of the three people who got an A. Sorry I don't like gloating but it was just a huge stress on my mind and I was so relieved today. I wish you luck!

2021-12-01 02:36:42 +0000 UTCI'm willing, but I'm not sure what more there is to elaborate with. If it's about "suffering," I'm not saying that it's the same as what a student goes through (I recall that all too well), but just when they're done with their work is when my work would become massive: reading papers (when I taught, my Thanksgiving week was had every hour filled by the careful reading and commenting on lengthy papers for a 2nd-writing-requirement class, to be returned for final revision), listening to individual solfège tests, giving and grading final exams -- all with scrupulous care and fairness, because students' futures depended on all those things. Of course, I concede that it was my job and what I was being paid to do, but it was a lot of concentrated responsibility in a short time.

2021-12-01 02:16:12 +0000 UTCCare to elaborate? Maybe it's a loaded question and too long to answer. I'm just curious. :) For disclosure, I just have my high school education, myself. I'm a Ward Clerk in a Neonatal ICU, no formal post-secondary education, or teaching experience.

2021-12-01 02:16:05 +0000 UTCI feel your pain, but I took this semester off to work.

2021-12-01 02:13:34 +0000 UTCNot a student for a very long time... but a college (music) professor for 40 years, recently retired. We had our own kind of suffering at the end of a semester.
