...thus officially ending my Spring 2010 semester! Just graded 78 final projects this week, plus a whole lotta late papers. Here was my semester's teaching load:
And other teaching-related stuff, of course, along with editing a magazine, building a website with exclusive content for said magazine, administrative work for the KUTC program and CSSF, reading for the Campbell Award jury, wrangling stories for the Sturgeon Award jury, and trying to finish my novel edits. Oh, and once in a while I tried to have a life. Ha!
Never again shall I undertake such a heavy load - the only reason I did it this semester was that I was concerned that budgetary issues might mean KU would cut my position. This concern turned out not to be unfounded; however, one has to schedule courses a year or so in advance, so... viola! Tons o' classes!
Summer, here I come! This summer, I only have the following responsibilities:
Hope your summer is a grand one.

This explains why you haven't been around much. I'm envious of how many technical writing classes your university offers. Next year looks fun.
Novel?
edit: So you and mckitterick are working together editing the magazine?
*FACEPALM* I'm so sorry. I glanced at the icon and thought you were

And, yes, our school offers lots of awesome tech-writing stuff. In fact, I'm the one who created the program at KU! So I'm not biased or anything ;-)
I also wish it was here so that I could take it. Technical writing is on the list of subjects I want to take classes in.
Maybe you should tattoo this on your arm or something.
