The final exam is graded (with a tiny curve) and all grades have been entered. And I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. One course done... many more to come in the future.
Unfortunately, as much as I enjoy teaching, I won't be teaching next semester. I had a course (Baby Bio) all lined up for Fall, but I had to ask the Dean to remove me from the schedule. You see, Mr. TempProf and I recently found out we are expecting our first child. And I don't think I could handle an evening class, 2 nights a week, at 8 months pregnant. (Especially when you add to that working a full-time post-doc job)
So, as I started this blog to talk about my adventures in teaching, and won't be teaching for a year, this blog will probably not be too active. I definitely plan to bring it back though as soon as I re-enter the teaching world. Which will happen. Cause despite the difficulties I had this semester, I think this is what I'm meant to do.
