Just two weeks in and I'm already feeling the pressures of being pregnant (5 weeks and 2 days from my due date) and teaching (only a 1-credit course) combined with working on the WPA report. I just found out yesterday that I have to complete a a T&R packet again this semester (by the end of the month!), although I just completed one in the spring. It has something to do with changing lines and now being off-cycle with a few other new hires. It's a bit overwhelming. I think normal Laura would be able to breeze through this, but new, tired, pregnant Laura is a little more delayed.
On another note, my Professions class is going well. The students are very scattered in that they have varied goals, again, showing me the need to make this a 3-credit course required of all Writing Arts majors. I was happy to see that this semester, I have (in addition to the usual dual WA/Ed majors) a couple of English majors and even an Engineering major. It shows that students from all over are starting to consider the potential of writing careers. :-) Or maybe they need a one-credit class...
